Swans under the moon!

Swans under the moon!
A very long time ago I saw the full moon rising over the Afon Conwy, and thought “How nice to have captured that on film”. Since then the rising of the full moon has been so important, especially over water. Here we see two swans, obviously partners, sharing the evening, the moonlight, and their love!

Eric Desjours, Deborah Lundbech, Roger (Grisly), Peter Castell and 28 other people have particularly liked this photo

My dear Peter,

Love is an important theme in the world! And the two swans in love reminds us how nice a world we have while enjoying the evening and their love!
We have to enjoy the beauties!
So the wonderful romantic scene is excellent for World Photography Day.

Love Füsun

Peter,
Thank you so much for the visit and wonderful comments re: The Silos and NC blue sky.
Just asked my spouse, Mr C, to come in here to see what you wrote.
He smiled -- said "If you didn't like that area - I would have been surprised.''

He is so good at seeing possibilities for a photograph,, but when we go the mountains "I just point and shoot."

That Dear Soul has more talent than he thinks.

There is an album .. RLC-PHOTOS -- think that is what I called it ... all his.

Again, thank you for visiting and the wonderful comments,

Peggy

Will wander a bit and enjoy your swans.

Hi Christa ,
Your visit is much appreciated. Thank you!
I'm happy that you had a good look!!
The reality is that this lake is not so far from me, and knowing where the moon rises, all I needed was no clouds, and the swan family to come by (which they always do).
Best Wishes, a good week, and keep safe,

What an amazing photo for the day (and for any day)! Blue light of evening - and to have a full moon! (I hadn't realized it would be full moon on our special day.)

How do you work to get such a photo? Do you sit and wait for the birds to arrive? Do you see them and wil them to swim into the right place?

Happy World Photography Day!

Hi Laura ,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it!
Well, there are a few clues here.. As I said to many people, this is close to my home, so I know where to stand to find the moon. I also know that some swans live here. So, I went, and took around 150 pictures as the swans were swimming around enjoying their dinner. Then, pick the best!!
Best Wishes, HWPD, a good weekend, and keep safe,
