Trumpeter Swan in morning fog
About five weeks ago I posted a similar shot from this magical moment on the Mississippi River. (The other image was of a different wing spread) Anytime it gets to below zero in Minnesota or elsewhere I tend to look for open water so I can get the extra element of steam in an image. Sometimes it works, othertimes it doesn't. It was approx -16 when this image was taken.
