Swan Reflections


Swan Reflections

I always make a visit to FDR Park in the winter because there are usually some swans in the lake, as well as geese, mallards, gulls, etc. I'd been here a couple of times this winter with not much success at all, but on my last visit I kind of got a sense of where the swans liked to hang out. Last Sunday I grabbed my boots (it's very sloppy footing with melting snow puddles and mud) and headed directly where I thought they might be. There they were standing just at the water's edge, slipping into the water as they spotted me and giving me quite a show. I almost wished that I could just watch and not worry about how to shoot it all. This was an experience I won't soon forget. JKEL
