On my travels Saturday I ended up at one of my favorite places.  The Interpretive Center at Hurstville.  I pulled up by the “pond” and just as I was parking these 5 swans landed and started paddling around the area.

It looked like there were 4 adults and one juvenile.  I thought about the swans over by LaMotte that Andreas follows and I know they had  a cygnet this year so I’m wondering if this young one could be that one.  No way to tell for sure I guess.

They never came very close to me and were always heading to the North end of the pond.  I’ve seen them at the pond the last few days as I go by this area most days on my way into Maquoketa.

So after spending 30 minutes and 78 images (thank God for digital) I decided to head back to Dubuque.  All and all not a very interesting day of shooting but still it was a day with a camera in my had and I was very thankful for that opportunity.

Enjoy your day.  Hopefully you will only have a 4 day work week this week.  Thanks for stopping by.  Be careful.
