Taking Off-Happy Thanksgiving

Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 21 November 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

This is another one from my foggy morning walk in Mohawk Park. Twice a year the swans take up temporary residence in the park. I have never actually seen them fly, but I was lucky enough to see this one fly, well sort of. He/she never got any higher off the water than what you see here. It seems the swan just wanted to avoid the camera and was just getting to the furthest part of the pond and into the fog.

This isn't the best technically but it was hard to get a clear shot between the fog and my location at the time of the shot, but I still thought it was kind of neat.

The black and white version had a bit more clarity and better contrast than the color version, so that's what I went with.

Thursday is Thanksgiving here and I want to wish everyone a wonderful day. I know I have a lot to be thankful for this year.
