On one of the backroads of Texas

I made a quick trip into Austin today. I saw a beautiful longhorn....made a u-turn and when
I got out, guess what? He had walked away. I started home again and stopped
to take photos of two swans in a stock tank. I see why Coleen loves the swans.
I could not tear myself away. It was like the most beautiful ballet imaginable.
They were like synchronized swimmers....not a sound, but they moved with each other...
it was awesome...truly.

I had to use the soft omni light because they are in a not so lovely stock tank, nothing around....
but their beauty doesn't require anything.

Well, actually, if you have dogs and they swim too close to the swans, you might have an entirely different view of these majestic creatures. The other thing that is really really fun is to watch the males when they have a litter for cygnets... that is quite some show they'll put on for you if any other water fowl get too close.

Beautiful, Petesie. It does look like they were doing synchronized swimming. Their feathers are in a busk position which I love to see.
