And then the close-up of the adult swan immediately following is also gorgeous. And I agree that female mallards are lovely. You captured their beauty nicely in your photographs of them.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-28513522472436673562014-01-06T03:51:53.499+10:002014-01-06T03:51:53.499+10:00I love the first and 18th shot the best....all the...I love the first and 18th shot the best....all the photos are stunning, those walks of yours are something else. thank you for stopping by the new blog, it doesn't matter if you return it is the thought and the effort that counts...cheers Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458351240865452950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-79920201640337640502014-01-06T03:14:32.998+10:002014-01-06T03:14:32.998+10:00Margaret, wonderful collection of waterfowl and pr...Margaret, wonderful collection of waterfowl and pretty swans.
