    Took a few pictures of a couple of swans courting. Here is one of the pics. The next shot though was x rated and not suitable for gardeners.

    Wow, Kildale! You really know how to use that camera. This is stunning...there is so much peacefulness in that photo.

    I can just imagine the next shot!! I like to watch the courting ritual of swans as they often form heart shapes with their necks.

    :D I had a feeling you'd have one just like that!!
    Swans have such a beautiful courting 'dance' that each year I go to Linlithgow Loch just to watch the pairs cementing their relationships.
