Thank you again Steve! This one was shot with my 3-year-old granddaughter in tow. (You can relate!) We were viewing a great blue heron through the lens (not in a good place to photograph) when these swans appeared overhead, so there was a mad scramble to refocus, and see if I could get anything. It was a memorable experience, made all the more memorable for sharing it with her. She took her first pictures on this drive. #3882348Hurk (Steve) Hurkett January 28, 2007
