Have Mercy Child!! I knew as soon as I saw the title it had to be Susan.. This is beautiful, as always... I just don't have enough words for how beautifuls this is.. Thomas Hood once said, There's a double beauty whenever a Swan swims on a lake with her double thereon.. Great Susan.. #99076

Well how do you follow that??? Susan, this is the best! I even spotted the sheep on the hill. Just simply gorgeous! #386934

Susie Peek-Swint February 19, 2004

Thanks so much Virginia! You've come through on a separate link but I agree, there is something about swans.. I can be photographing something entirely different but if I sense there are swans nearby I drop everything to capture them -- can't wait for the Swannery to open again next month then you'll see nothing but them for a month! LOL! Cheers, Susie #386935
