#cygnets

This pair of #Swans and their juvenile #Cygnets have set up a resting spot on the banks of the #Canal and on the edge of the shared #Cyclepath and #Footpath. I'd passed them before but didn't have a camera with me at the time. As you can see, they have no concerns with people being quite close by but someone told me that they've been quite aggressive, no doubt if someone has been perceived to be a threat.

I sometimes wish I'd taken my #camera along with me when I'm #cycling. As today was going to be a bright sunny day, I made sure I did.

Part of the #cycle #track is along the side of a #canal and here you can see what I presume is a family unit of #swans. The #cygnets are pretty well developed by this stage and I guess it won't be long before they will shed their grey #feathers for white ones.

Further along, the path goes over a #straight section of single #RailwayTrack and so you get a nice illustration of the #VanishingPoint of two #ParallelLines. Notice the reflection of the of the blue sky on the smooth #track surface

Not on my usual route, there is a section of double #Tracks which you can see curving to the #left,

or to the #right depending on the direction you're looking.

Finally, here's my faithful #bike itself, which is a veteran of of 20,000 km and counting.
