Lens-Artists Weekly Photo Challenge #57: Taking a Break
To celebrate Lens-Artists’ first anniversary, we’re invited to submit our own choice for this week’s challenge.
We decided to share a few more pictures of the cygnets before they begin to grow their feathers. You can see more images of the remaining three cygnets in our earlier post Summer Cygnets.
Thank you dear Amy, Ann-Christine, Patti and Tina for hosting this lovely challenge over the past year – here’s to many more happy anniversaries to come!

Lens-Artists Weekly Photo Challenge #53: Your Choice
We are delighted to see seven cygnets have hatched by the pond and are lovingly cared for by their parents.
The eggs from the river swans didn’t hatch this year. The pen and cob have been mating again last week and there is a very small chance of more eggs to come.
In 2017 their eggs didn’t hatch either and they fostered a cygnet from another swan family. We will share photographs of the river swans throughout the year and follow the progress of the pond cygnets as they grow older.
Wishing you all a magical Sunday,
with love from Xenia xxx
