I came across this mute swan family resting on the shoreline
while we were in Cape May.
Momma was guarded but also seemed happy to let me peek at her babies.
I was able to get pretty close without upsetting mom and dad.
The babies were sleeping, it looked like there were three!!

Not so pretty when they are babies...you got real close, must have moved slow:)
Hello dear Debbie...oh, how lovely to ''meet'' you today! Making new friends brightens my day and puts a big smile on my face!
Thank you for stopping by and leaving such a sweet comment on my blog! Smiles...
What beauties these swans are...I have never seen a swan up close! What an incredible experience it must have been to watch this precious momma bird and her babies...so glad you were able to capture a few pictures for us to see!
Have a wonderfully blessed Tuesday further!
Much love and hugs,

Hi Debbie, it's great to meet you. I found you on a girl friend's blog and had to come take a look. Your blog is delightful and these photo are amazing. Maybe you should look into getting a job for National Geo . . . you truly have a great eye for the camera. While I was here I also took your garden tour. I love what you did with the center garden in your front yard. That is a charming way to create a privacy screen without interrupting the natural flow of your landscaping. I love it! I was very surprised when you showed your backyard. Your home looks like a cottage from the front and then it is huge in the back. Very nice. I am your newest follower and I would like to invite you to visit my blog sometime.
Have a lovely day.
Your new blogging sister,
Connie :)
Hello Debbie, what a great sighting of the Swan family. The babies are so cute, love the last sleeping photo. Enjoy your day!
Super sweet and gorgeous too!
Oh my, Debbie! What a lucky day you had. So nice of mom and dad to let you have a close-up view. Such great pictures. The best thing about spring and summer is all the new wildlife. You sure brought a big smile to my face today. Thank you :)
Eine Schwanfamilie sehr schön.

Fantastic pictures of this family.
Amazing! Wonderful photography and what an honor that mom allowed it.
Oh my goodness! How about that. And, she is so pretty! :)

Awesome! Funny how they stick those legs out like that!
Nice post! Feel free to link it to Wild Bird Wednesday!

Beautiful! There were swans in the stream where my mother lived. They weren't afraid of humans at all. They looked so pretty floating along, but so ungainly when they waddled on dry ground!

that is so cute, I am surprised they let you get fairly close like that!
These are wonderful, Debbie! Swans always fill me with a sense of peace. I hope to be able to photograph them myself one day. What a blessing! Have a great week!
such cute fuzzies and feathereds. :)
These are truly lovely photos. I think it is awesome that you were able to get close to them.

What a great find! I'm glad they didn't deem you a threat so you could share these with us.
Cute baby swans, so fuzzy. You got great shots of them and the parents.
Awesome shots! The babies are so sweet!

Hi Debbie! How excited you must have been to see this beautiful family. The babies are so sweet and fluffy and totally adorable. I love too how graceful the swans long necks are, especially when they're preening. Thanks so much for dropping by and leaving your lovely comment - I really appreciated it. Hugs now xxx
They're gorgeous, and it was lovely to see them again. :D) xx
