On our latest ride down by the Forth & Clyde Canal, we came across a family of Swans feeding over by the far bank.
In ones & twos, they gradually came across to the near bank.
We carried on with our ride; on our return a bit later, they’d come out of the canal for a family preening session. 3 remained down in the reeds & rushes, but 2 came right up onto the path, & seemed unconcerned by the human with the camera
I was able to get within a few feet of them to get these close-ups
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).
This week’s Fan Of… is my new Whale Fall Handlebar Phone Holder. All the pics in the post were taken with my iPhone & so this is also my entry for John’s Cellpic Sunday. John’s challenge inspired me to use my new iPhone SE camera more for photography & hence the new phone holder. My previous holder, whilst sturdy, was not waterproof & also a bit fiddly to get my phone on & off of. This one is much simpler & allows me to stop, get my phone, quickly take some pics, & put it away again before carrying on riding
This new holder attaches to the bars using a simple screw ratchet (can just be seen under the holder body).
