I think that the swan is one of the most gracious birds and sometimes I like to watch them on the lake. I’ve decided to make a series about these birds, as I saw them last week in the evening light.

Reading in Wikipedia, I found something about the origin of the name of this bird:

The word is derived from Old English “swan”, akin to the German “Schwan” and Dutch “zwaan”, in turn derived from Indo-European root “*swen” (to sound, to sing), whence Latin derives “sonus” (sound). (Webster's New World Dictionary)
Young swans are known as “cygnets”, from the Latin word for swan, “cygnus”. An adult male is a “cob”, from Middle English “cobbe” (leader of a group); an adult female is a “pen” (origin unknown).

Almost symmetric in two planes plus a reflection. The touch of pink adds mood. TFS. K2

Buna Sorina,
frumoasa fotografia ta. Ai prins lebadele dintr-un unghi bun. Mai ales cea din dreapta, se vede perfect pozitia lor caracteristica, cu aripile putin ridicate. Felicitari.

Numai bine,
Chris

Indeed these are beautiful and graceful birds, Sorina. I really like the position you have captured them in, looks almost romantic. Love the reflections and the light on the back of the closer swan showing the soft feathers so beautifully. Well done.
Regards
Wanda
