I love Tchaikovsky’s ballet, Swan Lake. Beautiful music, beautiful costumes, and exquisite dancing. Here is my version, Swan Pond. It has a nice ring, don’t you think – although it will be without dancing and music. Feel free to make your own music. You can hum out loud, I won’t mind. Rest assured the costumes are authentic and so is the pond.
You can swim (or dance) over to see Frizz who I hear doesn’t look too bad in a tutu (maybe that will be his post for next week’s tag T). He wanted the lead roll this week but you can understand why I had to give it to the guys in the slide show. Anyway, here is where you will find lots of other interesting interpretations of “S”.

Thank you so much, Charlie. I was out shooting with a friend yesterday and we were talking about how difficult it is to capture the beauty that our eye sees. It makes me happy that you think I did it with these swans. 🙂

Love that colour contrast between azure waters and stark white feathers. Gorgeous!

Thanks. The morning sun was shining through thin clouds that day so I was able to get the glow of sunlight without the white feathers completely blowing out. And of course I love photographing water.

Yes, but I understand they can be aggressive and mean on land. I was cautious.

Maybe they were performing Swan Lake – but I think they were finding food of some sort.. 🙂
