Swan down side up

This female swan (must be) checking her belly before going to the disco....what's new! Of course the mirror is used to check the foundation. So it's her again, yesterday "swimming" in a sea of yellow flowers, today mirror view. Took this shot today in my "backyard" :-)

Hope you like this lady....

Hi Hans

Is it not mandatory to check the under-carriage prior to take off?
Great colours and reflection.
Well done.

Regards Derek

Hoi Hans,

Deze mag er zijn! Mooie wildfoto. Vooral de reflectie is sterk. Mocht je zo dichtbij komen van deze dame (je gedachtengoed hier even overnemende)???
Blijf het magnifieke dieren vinden.

Groeten,

Edwin

Mooi hoor, die reflecties... een hele leuk foto...
heeft ze al kleintjes????
ben wel benieuwd naar het jonge kroost straks...........

A beautiful creature she is and almost seems she'd forget her head if it weren't attatched... Beautiful reflections and a great 'model'. TFs

O ja, voor ik het vergeet, die gele bloempjes in de wind waren ook mooi, je had gewoon de wind gefotografeerd.
Hans, ik had weinig tijd en al helemaal te weinig smileys, maar dat wil niet zeggen dat ik je niet in de gaten houd.
Deze is heel mooi vooral omdat door de reflectie de dame op land omgekeerd lijkt.

Hey Hans :)
Very cute notes.. Do you all still have discos?
Love the perfect reflection!

hello Hans

So how does it feel after your 50 birthday? Feeling younger?

Good swan shot by the poolside, cleaning itself and busy with work. I like the reflection on the water. Nice color contrast too.

tfs, bill

Hi Han, Bit of fun here. For a moment i thought it was a disoriented Aussie visitor trying to see the world as it is down-under! Good clarity. TFS. Murray.

A very effective reflection Hans,enjoy yourself in England mate!

Hi Hans,

Hahaha, moet bij de eerste regel in je note meteen denken aan de hond van mijn ouders! Die kijkt ook te pas en te onpas of alles er nog hangt hahaha. Trouwens ook een vrouwtje - en dat soort controle-gedrag zou je toch bij mannetjes verwachten ;-).

Groeten!
Dennis

I need to go back a little in your gallery now to find what I missed while I was away :)
This one strikes me right away because the colours are strong and clear. I love the rippled reflection (a little like my surfboard :))
Superb posting
