Love radiated out from this mother swan teaching her baby how to swim in the waters of a stream course in Annecy, France. .. . . . . .
The water was shimmering and their swim created ripples which seemed to spread in concentric circles to infinity. . . . . . . . .
Interesting light and patterns.

Beautiful picture (as always)!
Many thanks sortaginger!
Nice composition. I like the sunlight in the water and the circles rippling around the mother and child suggesting infinite love.
Yes, I was trying to suggest infinite love from the mother. Thank you for your kind comment!
I agree! Such an interesting angle, too. Looks as if you were shooting from above them.
I walked along the banks of this stream course which feeds into the Annecy lake. My senses was already pre-occupied by the market, cafes, medieval buildings on both sides of the bank ( see my other post on Annecy -the Medieval Town). These swans attracted me and, in a fleeting moment, I took this photo from the bank. Many thanks for the kind comment!
I think the composition, the light , and the angle are perfect for the theme. It’s superb!
Many thanks Marilyn!
The sparkling water sure adds to the feeling of love “radiating” from the mother swan, and swans are so symbolic of love aren’t they. Wonderful submission Michael!
You have summarized it very well; that is what I want to communicate through the picture. Thank you for your kind comment!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing, Michael. – Bill

Hi Viveka, I can’t find a better picture. Thank you for your always kind comment!
Absolutely beautiful photo!!
Thank you for your kind comment!
What a perfect point of view, both from a photographic point of view and life. Your shot reminded me of Lucerne, we stood on the bridge for the longest time enjoying their swans. It’s so peaceful and beautiful to see right in the city.
Hi, I like watching swans too; although I am worried of the financial “black swans”.
So true Micheal, most definitely worrisome but are they entirely unpredictable events or do people just chose not to change their ways (i.e. uncensored spending) and ignore the warning signs?
Yes, we shouldn’t be worrying for things which are unpredictable and beyond our control. Many people are overspending; their government’s remedial action only serves to distribute their problem to other nations and their peope. Regards, Michael
They look so peaceful and everything seems happy and light
Have a wonderful weekend, dear Michael! 
Thank you for your kind comment. Have an enjoyable weekend!
I do so love water, Michael. Excellent capture of the ripples and the reflections of light.
The picture will look less interesting without the light and the ripples.Thank you for your kind comment!

I like ur posts and I also like u. I think u r a great person to talk about 养身 and 静坐.
I am just an ordinary retiree who likes to make peace with myself and others; exercising to maintain myself and eat in a healthy manner. I have not yet practised meditation in any form. Many thanks for the kind comment!
ohhh that’s a perfect take on love! not the screaming type of love…that deep, intense, pure kind of love. I love this!
Again, you ‘ve described it very well. Thank you for your kind comment!
This is an absolutely adorable and beautiful image of love!
