Light and shadow

I've had bad luck with photos the past couple of days. Didn't have the camera with me yesterday but managed to take a few shots on the phone; however, when I tried to sync with the computer, they mysteriously seemed to disappear. Then, today, I took a few photos of a swan with its cygnets, and the only one that came out in focus happened to be the one in which the swan lifted its head out of the shot just as I snapped. So I've had to resort to a late-night emergency blip in order to avoid missing two days in a row. Well, these things happen.
