![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 600 W: 62 N: 1227]](http://i1.treklens.com/misc/g-g-g.gif) (4362) | I first photographed a black swan last week, so when I took my camera out to Lafreniere park once again, I walked for miles searching for it to photograph again. I was well rewarded for the long walk...I stumbled upon his mate and their baby.
I was surprised at how friendly these swans are, they come right up to you looking for a treat. I thought the Mom would be protective of the baby, but she usher it right up to me. Once I ran out of feed they retreated to the water and I capture this shot. I have included a photo of both Mom and Baby in the workshop.
The thing I love about this site beside learning a good deal about taking photographs is the sharing of the knowledge about the subject. I have been informed that the ducklings do grow into a muddy ugly color as they mature before becoming a beautiful adult. Just thought I would share the information as told to me by David (Refugee). Thank you David!

I hope you enjoy this photo and thank you for stopping by,

PS...the title of the photo is not a reflection of my thoughts on the beauty of these creatures but a mention of the children's story, The Ugly Duckling. I too think he is a cutie! |
