A family of Mute Swans create a nice focal point on a crystal clear morning across a loch

While exploring the area we saw a family of Mute Swans gracefully swimming across the loch. I was lucky there was no wind so the water became a mirror of the forest above. I quickly grabbed the camera and went down to the water’s edge and took a few photos, as the image above shows. Mute Swans may be a common species and well photographed, but in a setting like this any subject looks great.
