REFELECTING ON THE RIVER BANN
I was out of the house very early this morning to take Master Jack Sparrow to the vets as today was the day for the snip.
I had to gallop out of the surgery as I am a big sook especially as the vet had to pry his paws from around my neck, and Jack giving me a look to say "for Gawd's sake don't leave me".
So with the sun just coming up, blue skies and everything looking all sparkly from our recent, torrential downpours, I headed to the River Bann.
Obviously its still getting run off from the floods as it was running very high and very, very fast, so fast that it was actually flattening the surface of the water.
The Mute Swans have flown in for the Winter and the four that entertained me were extremely friendly which made me feel guilty for not having anything for them to eat.
The light was amazing and I got the kind of shots that I love to get, all dreamy and ethereal, not to my darling husband's taste LOL.
Cynthia Swan glided by, although I knew that underwater her feet were paddling like mad to fight the current, and her reflection in the river was just gorgeous.
And how do I know its a female? She has a smaller knob on the top of her beak - and no tittering comments about large and small knobs, thank you very much!!!!
You will be pleased to know that Master Jack is non the worse for his operation and has forgiven me.
DEFINITELY BETTER ON BLACK. CLICK ON PHOTO ONCE
