before and after (eventually)

Back down to the local lake but no sign of last week's little cuties.

Instead I was able to shoot a family of swans - two adults (not sure if Mother and Father or Mother and Aunty?) and six cygnets. They were most obliging.

Oh, and thanks Mother Nature for the wee 4.0 shake this morning - a reminder was it? Well we haven't forgotten that you are in charge. Nasty!
