LONE SWAN

Azle, TX

Went to drop off a program to a friend of mine and pick up my VIP stuff for the Air Show this next weekend and saw this fellow in the lake behind their house. This is Norbert, the local Swan. Say hello, Norbert.

And, exciting news....my old company whom I worked for for 11 years is talking to me about a possible job in the Agency. :)

Have made quite a few pictures of very shy Trumpeter Swans her in Eastern Iowa this year. Hope to have a perspective like this one in the future. Very nice.

That's pretty good detail in the whites as it's a hard one to expose for. I hope that job opportunity is good news for you. And, hello Norbert.
