On a theme: swans in Austin

Here are some photos I wanted to share from Austin, taken Friday morning on the river next to my hotel.

First, a shot of the river through a foggy lens. I kind of liked the watercolor effect.


A family of swans spotted me and swam down the river directly to me. There's Mama Swan, Papa Swan and four Baby Swans. Very well behaved children.


I loved the way they looked in the shadow of the bridge I was standing under.







































They stopped to get some breakfast...


Then Papa Swan had a morning stretch.


Ohhhhh it feels so good to shake it all out!


Now they, and I, were all ready to start the day out right. It was a pleasant morning.
