Singing In The Rain
Well one of them was :biggrin:... and another was wondering why it was the odd one out, Polish I believe...

Spent a couple of very happy hours with these five cygnets and their mum & dad today. The continual change in light between the showers made the exposure a bit tricky however.

It's a pity the outside two are not quite as sharp due to lack of dof, but I felt this one was worth posting anyway.

A very appealing scene and a fine shot that's made all the better, and more interesting, thanks to the rain. :toast:
