Cygnet, You Want To Touch My Ring?

I was up before dawn, to the sound of the chorus, in the hope of togging a back to back NY sunset/sunrise. As I approached my chosen spot a tiny bit of pink appeared and then promptly disappeared. I took lots of grey landscape shots.

Back home to a champagne brunch watching the rain and the Vienna concert. I thought the flowers were a bit blobby this year, probably because no green foliage was used. Loved Vivienne Westwood's tartan and feather creations.

The rain didn't stop. I decided to go to Amwell Nature Reserve regardless. Sat in a hide and togged a heron then gave up. As I was leaving I saw a family of swans. The fully-grown cygnets swam towards me, left the water and started pecking at me. I walked backwards and got some shots of their assault. A couple approached. It was a man and his son who I have met at the reserve before. Soon afterwards another man arrived with food for the swans. We had such fun chatting and interacting with the ugly ducklings. :)

My pic makes me think of the hand of God in the Sistine chapel.
