The swans were ready to be released onto the Avon River in Stratford Ontario. After being in close quarters in their winter home, they were feeling a bit... erm, frisky.
see also VioletSky for more of the swans trip to the river.
Oh they are glorious. Each shot shows their striking beauty, especially the first and last. But that lat one, wow. To catch the wings just in that moment, like angel wings, and the necks heads and beaks perfect, parallel felt pipe cleaners. Just gorgeous!
Frisky -- but graceful at the sametime ;>) Beautiful swans -- and I checked the "muscovy duck" comments below and see that Eileen and others beat me to it. One of our grandsons and I spotted this crazy looking duck one time and he and I looked it up on the Internet (he was about 5 at the time). We were both excited to learn its name.
What terrific captures! I love swans and these are so beautiful! I LOVE the first and last shots in particular, but they're all marvelous! Thanks for sharing the swan fun! Enjoy your week!
In answer to your question. Click on the photo and a long line will appear offering the ability to caption and set the photos on the page and to size them. It will glaze the photo which you click on again and it's done. Use a right click not a left click. You'll have to play with it to get it right. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

Neat shots of the mute swans! I've noticed they are feisty too. :)
Oh my! You were there at the right time!
I've often wondered about that Parade of Swans - perfect for a theatrical town, I think.
That must almost be a tradition in Stratford when the swans are released. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

like a synchronized performance. well done.
Fabulous captures of these beautiful swans.
I saw the parade of swans. I think the last picture is especially good in this group. That's what you imagine a couple of swans to look like.
Fabulous shots - especially the last one!
Wow! Prize winners all.
Beautifully clicked, looks like the spring is here for everyone to enjoy.
Didn't realize that your Stratford is also upon the Avon.
Lovely bit of voyeurism.
I am assuming they only mate in the water.
...and yes, we copy a lot of your towns and rivers names!
Beautiful birds and wonderful captures of them...both frisky and graceful!!!
What a happy and cute couple! They are having fun and very showy!
Marvelous photos, - I love the last one. And have enjoyed your companion blog about the swans of Stratford. A lovely expression of Love.
Yes they sure are in love!
Beautiful choice for L.
Please come and see the Lamborghini at my page.
