Up close and personal...

'Gracefulness has been defined to be the outward expression of the inward harmony of the soul.'
~William Hazlitt


Whilst sitting crossed legged near the waters edge today clicking away, I think it was the closest I've ever got to the Swans. They were peacefully grooming themselves, so elegantly and gracefully, it was so nice to just watch.

Luckily they enjoyed the attention of my camera and had no problems posing for me!
