Yesterday...on our way home, the hubs and I stopped by Godfrey Lake
to check on Moma swan.
She is tucked way back in the woods, well protected from danger...
sitting on her nest, guarding her babies to be.
Yesterday, I found a small, thin path
where I was able to see and photograph her a little bit better then last time.
My presence did not go unnoticed...
Daddy swan was swimming close by the nest
and moved in even closer...the closer I got to the nest.
Is this not the most beautiful thing you have ever seen??
Not the image...the feeling the image evokes,
I just love nature.
Papa swans neck, coupled with it's reflection,
forms a perfect heart in this image.
Moma swan is good and life is beautiful!!
I am so happy to be sharing Papa swans beautiful heart with

I love those photos! Nature is wonderful!
Just so sweet.
I especially connect with the one of her sitting on the beaver lodge. And Papa's heart. Awwww....
I put a buncha ways to follow me on my blog and I started followng you with your Google widget. Would you please stop by when you get a change and be my tester? Seems by blog is doing all sorts of weird things on other people's sites, too. There really should be obedience classes for blogs -come, sit, stay, PLAY NICE!
Aren't swans monogamous, too? I geuss the daddy knows how to care for his 'wife' and babies. Love the heart!
It's so refreshing to see so many others enjoying nature as much as I do. These images do evoke wonderful feelings about...life...new beginnings. Love the reflection photo which made a heart. Awwww!!!
Thanks for the updates on your swan family!!! Gorgeous images, especially the last one of Daddy!!
What a terrific post! Nature is indeed wonderful.
How beautiful. Nature is wonderful!
Those are spectacular pictures. I love the Papa Swan and heart; just so precious. I too love nature and am grateful that you take these beautiful photos. I love how the birds show such loving care to their little eggs and or fledglings and each other.
Blessings for this one!
Ahh. Beautiful pictures. But you are correct, it is the emotions the pictures invoke. Such love and commitment.

Dimi...
What a gift to be able to share in this.
Debbie, I feel the same way about nature. Lovely shots of the swans.. Enjoy your week!
Oh how just simply wonderful to log in this morning and find your post Debbie.
After seeing those first photos of your beautiful sitting swan I wondered if you lived near enough to her to keep an eye on her progress... but didn't ask you the question.
It's an incredible experience isn't it and they will remember you now and know you intend no harm. I love how swans are mates for life and it's thrilling to be able to follow your discovery of this lovely time in nature :D) xx
Papa Swan's neck is gorgeous, Debbie.
Looking forward to seeing some babies real soon. :-)
This made me smile!
Absolutely beautiful photos!
As beautiful and graceful as swans look, they can become downright nasty and some may even give chase. I know this from first hand experience of trying to get to close to a swan family years ago.
Very beautiful, Debbie!
a kiss.
I love the background in these! Nice job on the focus!
How perfectly lovely. I've always admired swans. These photos just fill my eyes. Happy Guest Heart Thursday!
I've never seen a nesting swan before - what a precious and special gift for you! And that heart! Totally amazing! Thank you so much for find it!!!
Beautiful!
