Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking, “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how-to).

Swan

This week’s Fan Of.. is Swans #3. Recent workload & poor weather have meant no chance for photography outings, so I’m delving into my archive for my Fan Of… series. As these particular swans are looking a little odd, this is also my post for Becky’s Odd Squares.

Usually we see swans effortlessly paddling around, looking elegant…

… but this isn’t always the case

How To Join In

  1. Create a Fan Of… Photo Post.
  2. Add a link to your Fan of… blog post in my comment box or create a pingback by linking to my post.
  3. Title your post Fan Of… or add Fan Of… tag.

Have a great week

    I love when they sleep that way — all curled up in a ball — on the water.

      It’s amazing that they just go to sleep floating around; I suppose canals are perfect with no current

    You’ve caught their contortions well, Jez. I love watching them.
