    Hello Gunnila,
    Beautiful series of wild swans.
    Real winter already in your country.

      Thank you Irma! It almost felt like winter last weekend, but then it got warmer again.

      Thank you Margaret! They'll stay as long as the lake isn't frozen over.

      Thank you Eileen! If I'm lucky I see them like this in the spring when they arrive and in the autumn when they leave.

      Thank you Tom! I might see them like this both in the spring when they arrive and in the fall when they leave.

    Mieletön määrä joutsenia. Upeat kuvat. Olit onnekkaasti oikealla hetkellä oikeassa paikassa.

      Kiitos Orvokki! Joutsenet ovat edelleen täällä, mutta avovettä ei enää juurikaan ole.
