This swan is almost an intruder in the middle of all this intense greenery !!!!!!
The English "jungle" is definitely full of charm !!!!
Excellent week-end!

Both beautiful images, Rosalyn. The "darkness before the storm" reveals all the shades of green in the woods along the river and the grace of the gliding swan in the pip is enhanced by the water ripples.

Hi Rosa
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different composition.. Hailstones in May and a swan out of the water..
Such a nice focal point to the scene.
And swans seem to be a very fashionable subject at the moment!!
Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

The darkness of the threatening storm adds great atmosphere ad makes the white swan stand out beautifully Rosa. Two lovely shots. I like the colours in the water in the PiP.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Ecobird club
Even though we were sheltering from the hail, the scene with the swan looked beautiful. I took so many shots to make sure at least one turned out well ;-)) Thank you for your kind comments Carol.
