I made this image in the early morning hours on the grounds of the historic Broadmoor hotel in Colorado Springs. I sat quietly next to the shore until these swans felt comfortable with my presence. I was able to make several images of them until a mean spirited raccoon chased me away. I’m not sure if it is the mask, the sharp pointy teeth and claws, or the ‘Get off my land…’ look, but I packed up quickly when he started to head my way.
