On an early morning stroll today, I managed to get close to some Swans in my local loch. Usually they move away when anyone approaches them, but today they were content to let me photograph them.

Great pics, what fabulous clear light you must have had. Still murky down here. :(

Lovely clear light up here until around midday when it started to become hazy. Was -3C when I took these around 10am. Forecast for similar on Friday, so will be out and about again hopefully.
