This Mute Swan was standing on the snow-covered ice of a lake, as if waiting for the ice and snow to just go away. It would be a couple of weeks before that would happen and the swan could get about its business of creating a new family. Meanwhile, I loved the graceful shape of its body and the touches of black and orange against an otherwise featureless landscape.
