My Swan Babies...

It's been a week since they first arrived in this beautiful world.  I have visited them 13 times and spent with them for over 20 hours.  It's been a true pleasure to see them growing up each day, and it's amazing how easily we get connected...

Thank goodness to my friend who told me last night that the baby swans finally emerged!  I arrived at the babies "home" at 6 AM this morning to capture the long anticipated cuties!

I tried to surprise the swan babies by visiting them at a different time each day.  Today, I arrived at their sweet little home around 7:05 PM.  They were soooo happy to see me...

6/8/13

Thought I would go visit the swan babies at a different time of the day just to “surprise” them, but I ended up going to see them at every possible time of the day.  It translated to 6:20 AM yesterday morning, 7 PM yesterday evening, 6 AM this morning, 2 PM this afternoon and 6:30 PM this evening…  Thank goodness the swan babies’ home is only 7 miles from my home.  Otherwise life would have been even more exhausting!!

Rain in the forecast for tomorrow.  Hope that gives me a good reason to bring sanity back to life – I am really, truly exhausted!!!

6/9/13

Well, the disappointing news is: it didn’t rain today.  In fact, the overcast weather condition was perfect for photography…  So, I spent another 6 hours of my precious life with the swan babies today!

Got some really neat shots, just don't have the energy to process more pictures tonight.  Since we've collectively been so involved with the swan family over the past week, I'd like you to have an opportunity to meet all of them together and enjoy the graceful scene of their sweet home -- the Swan Lake. 

As for me, I am as exhausted as the swan babies!!

Traveling this week, so this love affair with the swan babies has got to come to an end -- and it will!
