About Eek!! My third upload inside 24 hours!! And I was only going to do 1 a day!! Sorry! ;-) Just can't myself! I've got all these shots of this beautiful place and I just want to share them with you!!

This swan and its offspring swam past at just the right moment to give some foreground interest to this shot of the lake and folly. The trees on the back are a little past their best, but still hanging on to enough leaves to give a bit of colour!

I hope you're enjoying the walk!

Best regards to all,

Chris

Another beauty, Chris. Must have been some walk! You are right, the swans really add to the frame. The white really brings out the color in the background.

They didn't just know it was autumn, they knew exactly where you needed them to be to create a beautiful picture. All things work together for good...

Chris, As always the colors are stunning and the subject is beautiful. Don't tell the swans that the season has changed. -- Debby

Seeing this beautiful fall landscape they must do. I think so. Wonderful light and so beautiful deep colors you captured here, Chris. Seeing all your photographs i think you live in a beautiful country.
Have a nice weekend.

I'd say the do Chris, nature's instinct. Lovely autumnal shot, crisp colours and great perspective as the birds lead the eye to the other shore.

With views like this Chris, do they really care other than there is something to compete with their own beauty. Fantastic shot and the vertical format makes it!

Wow this is an excellent photo. I love how the two swans are in a line. One is in the foreground and the other is in the middle ground. They draw your eyes to the detailed, colorful, and well saturated fall foliage.

Hi Chris, you pose some interesting questions.... I honestly wouldn't know if swans know it's autumn... What do you recon? Either way, they do pose beautifully for this shot. Nice one.

Cheers,

Hugo
