Swans out of water in the rain

Lafreniere Park, Metairie, Louisiana

In the past 19 days we have had weather ranging from snow, sleet and freezing rain to 10 days of fog with temperatures in the high 70's to a cold front with lots of rain and tornados and temperatures plunging into the 30's again.
The swans were puzzled as to why they couldn't swim in this rain puddle.

Or maybe they're looking at their reflections. Neat shot.

Wonderfully saturated colors, and good comp, too, Coleen. Do hope you're feeling better very soon!

The ducks look like they are discussing who should go first. Great image! Hope you feel better soon!

I hope you are feeling better soon, Coleen.

Looks pretty wet. The curves of the waterway are just like the curves of their necks.

I think I'd love to go for a walk in Lafreniere Park, Metairie, Louisiana,
rain or shine. Beautiful !

Beautiful greens ... such a peaceful scene!

Really nice image Coleen, the green grass is a nice
contrast to the rainy weather look. Some of my favorite photos
have been taken from my car window. Get well!

Your descriotion of the weather sounds like a typical Devon day!... Poor swans!. Really lovely image, Coleen.

Get better soon.

Oh, yeah... it really makes this photo SHARP!! if you want to get it to pop just a little more, try some sharpening on it. The photo is well composed; I like the swans off center in the frame.

You're getting small floods too, I see.

That's a voteable image Coleen. Despite the gray day you have managed a very appealing capture. Gosh I'm not surprised you can't recover in weather changes like your having!
