Wow those two are beautiful! Huge feet! :) Swans? Fantastic black-and-white shot! Gosh at least the page isn't as slow to load when there aren't so many comments yet! Lol. I found when I was trying to comment on your pics yesterday, it took aaaages and I have realised that happens when there are stacks of comments and little pictures that go with them. ;)

Makes me shiver just to look at it! And I need it too! I don't know what ever happened to spring and fall, they still existed when I was a kid?! Spring has been especially elusive the last few years. We just turned off the furnace last week (and froze a couple of early mornings!) now its time to put in the air conditioners! Great shot, BTW!
