Portrait of a swan




Mute swan, 18.12.2013, Töölönlahti.

We're having a very warm December without
snow and ice. The swan family of eight is still here.
The young ones are as big as their parents
and their plumage is starting to show some white.

I'm linking to I'd Rather B' Birdin'.

    Gunilla....Most of the swan pictures are of the entire swan in the water and not focusing on the face. These are awesome and really let someone see what a sway really does look like. Those eye look quite stern!

      Thank you Genie! The swans are used to people and they let you come very close. I've tried to get some close ups too.

    Great shots. He/she looks so furry and soft rather than feathery.

    Very nice these portraits of the swan.
    Especially the middle picture I like it because you will also see a piece of his other eye :-)

      Thank you Teresa! I'd rather have a little colder and snow. It would be lighter and cleaner. Happy New Year!
