There was a small glimpse of sunshine in London this morning after days of grey, so I ventured out to Regents canal just along from where I live. A few swans were leisurely cruising around on the water.
I have learned, that although beautiful to look at, swans can be quite vicious! They didn’t seem to mind me bending down close to them at the edge of the canal footpath, but I had to be alert, as their behaviour towards any dog and their owner passing by was quite scary. They became vipers, hissing at the poor dogs! It was a bit of challenge to focus on taking good shots.
The drama aside, I have always loved the shapes swans make with their beautiful long necks and their elegant balletic moves are lovely to capture on camera.
Here are some more of the images I captured this morning of these beautiful creatures.
Up close and personal …
