why do i photograph? pt 2    

letting the image tell the story 

last week i met this swan family and spent some time getting to know them

there are no words to describe the awe and joy i felt watching them dive for food and share their 'catch' .... 

these two photographs speak for themselves.

today i was standing on the bridge gazing out over the river when i noticed a grebe mother paddling along the riverbank. i knew grebes carry their young on their back, between their wings, but had never seen it before, so i felt really privileged being able to witness it. 
again: no words can describe what i felt seeing these two together.... but who needs words with these images?
