The swans have six babies! Kris and I were out on the water before sunrise. Really foggy this morning - it took a long time for the sun to spear through the fog. We spent quite some time watching the mama swan guide her babies across Little Pond, showing them where the good eating places were, how to hiss at bumbling kayakers... and looking elegant the whole while.

The second picture has an effect applied. I am really happy with the composition. The first rays of sunshine are just beginning to touch the swan's neck.

Every morning is spectacular (isn't that so true!). You never know what you are going to see. Almost got our heads bit off for this one, but we made it out of Little Pond without incident. Whew!
