These are some of my favourite photos of my favourite trumpeter swan, Pet. She kept preening and spreading her wings and the lighting conditions were perfect. The sun shone beautifully through her wings and transformed her into some type of ethereal being.
Unfortunately, these are also the last photos I have of her as I’ve been told that she’s no longer with us. I’m not sure what happened to her but I’m devastated. Pet was such a kind soul and never hesitated to waddle up to us and say hi. Sometimes we would sit side by side to enjoy the sounds and sights of the lake. I was looking forward to hopefully seeing her again this winter but it wasn’t meant to be. I’ll miss you, Pet.
The last photo is of the male mute swan making his landing. I heard some loud clapping over the lake and wondered what was going on. A split second later, I realized what I was hearing and had my camera at the ready.

A few posts back, I included photos of this scene but with swans in the distance. At the end of my excursion here, the swans had moved and I couldn’t resist capturing a landscape photo without them. I loved taking photos here as I could use the tree branches to naturally frame the scene.

A sunny, winter day spent by the lake at Humber Bay Park. Usually, I’m not a fan of sunny days for photography as the lighting can wash objects out and cast harsh shadows. But on this day, the sunlight turned the lake a gorgeous shade of blue and I loved the backdrop the clear, blue sky provided.
