Swan Makes its Way Through the Ice

Lafreniere Park - Metairie, Louisiana

It was 24 degrees F when I shot this. The entire pond is frozen over.

Beautiful capture. I hope the swan is okay and that it warms up soon.

Poor babies I hope they are OK! Getting a taste of the tough life. We had a heat wave today. It got up over 20. Warmer weather is coming your way.

Nice shot of the swan. Not too common with the iced pond.

Is that one of the swans that was up here a few days ago? :-) Looks like he rode the ice down river and the then it melted! :-) Very nicely seen Coleen.

Nice catch of this unusual occurrence.

So graceful. The waterfowl are flying on past us. The ice is way too thick in the wetlands off the Tennessee River.

if you think that pond is frozen then you should see our lochs! heheh
