While we were back in New Jersey for a quick weekend visit with our family
I spotted that little white dot that you see the arrow pointing at.
I was up early that morning and decided to take a ride
while the rest of the family was still fast asleep.
This body of water is just down the road from our son's house where we were staying. It's a very busy road, but being that it was early in the morning on a Sunday there was very little traffic.
I pulled off to the side of the road and got out of the car to take a better look. Luckily I had my camera with me and once I zoomed in, the little white dot took shape. What I had seen with the naked eye was a Swan.
With the Swan being so far away, most of the initial pictures I took were not very good. Here are two of them.
Standing on the bank of the pond, the swan must have spotted me and I realized he was swimming my way.
After a minute the swan had made its way across the pond and I was in for a treat. I guess the swan thought that I had something to feed it.
At this point, the swan was within 10 feet of me and I snapped away, capturing the beauty of this bird close up.
The sun glistened off of its pure white body as it moved in even closer.
As the swan patiently waited for me to give it a treat, it gave me a stare that could kill.
After a few minutes, the swan must have realized that my pockets were empty and it decided to swim back across the pond.
As it got further away it took a peek over its shoulder, seeming to let me know that it was not happy to have swum across the body of water for nothing.
