March 30 2004:
Serenity

It’s been a beautiful day here today. Truly spring like. I got off to a bad start one way and another, but later in the day I ventured out for a walk along our local canal in search of peace and tranquillity. And I found just that. The swans were just gliding along and they made me wonder what kind of choices they have to make; I suspect their lives are much more straightforward and emotion free in relative terms. But who knows?

This is dedicated to a friend who made me see things differently today.

Lovely photo, Ray. Swans glide so serenely on the water. Excellent way to convey that idea. And nice to dedicate it to...that special friend.

A beautiful subject very well captured.

Well I'll add my "lovely" to the long list here already mentioned. Really a wonderful shot and I love the layers of feathers made by the wings and the tail. Looks like she is about to take off so you may just have gotten this at the right time. She looks so perfect, almost not real!
