Swans with Cygnets. (+PiP)

I thought it was about time I posted something cute ;-))

Taken at Hilsea Lido, Nr Portsmouth in Hampshire. Their nest is only around 4 metres away and almost touchable from the bank. They were very popular, and lots of people were taking photos which didn't seem to bother them at all.

There's another image in the PiP. Enjoy and thanks for looking.

I suspected you'd like these Rosa...........it was such a lovely thing to see. I was amazed how close by the nest was and how relaxed the adult swans were with all the people passing by and stopping to taken photos.

Thanks for dropping by...........and enjoy the remainder of the weekend.
