Winter Walk 3

Greene County, Virginia 

Just before the light faded, I stood on the edge of the water looking at the soft shapes and colors on the opposite bank when a pair of swans swam into view. They made a chattering sound to each other as they dabbled underneath the overhanging bushes.

I stood and watched for a long time, and then turned the camera off and started for home.  Later, sitting in front of the fire, I felt most fortunate to have shared a wet and cold winter's afternoon with a pair of swans.

    Very nice. The fading light works well to blend foreground and background as in a painting. The swans couldn't have appeared at a better time.
