Lutz and his paws - and full steam ahead

My main photo today had to be Lutz because it was my last day of looking after him and his brothers, and the other two had already featured. Here Lutz is completely relaxed in a pose that would be agony for a human.

I went back to Blackford Pond to check on the cygnets for the first time in nearly three weeks and I was very happy to see that there were still eight of them, all going ahead at a rate of knots when someone (maybe the front cygnet) decided that it was time to put on some speed.
