Saturday Critters ~ 355 ~

 I love to photograph swans...and never tire of it.
They are such beautiful birds with there elongated, curved neck and white feathers,
a stand out in any lake in which they reside.
Swans recognize people...
I read that in several places and I believe that to be true.
The Swan is a symbol of purity, beauty, grace, love and elegance.

Looking like an angel here...

and a bird on a mission here...

they change poses and melt your heart with beauty in a matter of seconds.




Splashing, having fun...


frolicking about!






I spotted these 2 turtles, I don't usually see turtles here!

Love that second photo and the three together. Turtles are a favourite of mine. I’ve never seen them in the wild. Fabulous photos, Debbie.

It must have been such a treat to spot those turtles. As for your swans, they are beautiful. I do believe there is not a bird quite as elegant as the beautiful swan.

Well all the swan pictures are great but I think my favorite is the second one and the turtles are just too cute! Love the little hidden "be happy". Good advice.

Hi Debbie, Thanks for that beautiful dose of Swan. Magnificent creatures aren't they and the poses you've captured are wonderful. A cute extra bonus of turtles too!

These are magnificent photos of the swan. I think they are the best ever. I love Swan's and I love the symbols.
I still think you need to publish a book of your bird photos. These are just so lovely.
Sending hugs your way!
