Photo of an adult mute swan in profile swimming in calm water, coming into view behind some greenery. Next to the adult swan is a young fluffy gray cygnet, perfectly framed by a curving branch. The cygnet is about a fifth of the size of the adult. The water is dark, contrasting against the white swan, and there’s a white flower out-of-focus, just on the edge of the photo.
Photo of an adult mute swan sitting in shallow water, grooming their feathers. Next to the adult swan is a cygnet that’s still gray and fluffy, but now is the same size as the adult. Both of their necks are elegantly curved. The light is dusky, and the photo is taken through purple flowers and greenery which created a smooth dreamy effect and a purple sheen over the water and swans. Behind them is dense greenery with a few small blue flowers. This photo was taken a couple of months after the first one.
one of my #favoritethings from 2025 was watching a swan family grow up along the Water of Leith 🤍🤍🤍 #blueskyartshow #photography #birds #swans #cygnets #spring #cute #wildlifephotography #nature #scotland
