We went to the lake last night to check for swans, armed with frozen bread crusts just in case...but they weren't there. The kids threw all the bread in the water to entice them in case they had flown away. Well, they may have found the bread as Connie, my neighbor, called during naptime to tell me the swans were at the lake! I grabbed my camera, switched out lens' and hiked to the lake for a swan photoshoot. I was looking for the classic shot with swans swimming, fall colors behind, & possibly reflections.... Not to be today, folks! These things were FEARLESS! There were 2 adults and 3 cygnets and they were looking to be fed. They came within one foot of me and I could have pet them, but that was a bit out of my comfort zone. I hiked back to the house and came back with bread & popcorn to feed my new friends. When the girls got home & the boys woke up, we fed them some more. Maybe we are why they are fearless!
Who knew swan feet were this huge?
