My shame

On a cold January day, the temperature is below zero, but that fact did not bother me to go to the canal. After a week or more the fog had receded. There is whiteness all around me, everything is decorated with icy but also fascinating decoration at the same time.
During a day like this my expectations are very low, I just know that I will not be able to take a single photo that is at least some level better than average. Although the criteria for average varies from photographer to photographer.
Upon reaching the canal I saw swans! The canal is not completely frozen yet, as you can see in the first photo the swans immediately headed for me. I was soon overwhelmed by the incredible feeling of shame because I completely forgot to bring food for them. Believe it or not I was ashamed of myself !!!.
In other photos, you can see the swans' attempts to climb the thin ice as well as their precarious stepping because previously one of them had failed through the ice in several attempts.
I truly love these magnificent birds, I have spoken many times so far about their awkwardness beyond water and air. It was really fun watching them try to get to the shore ie. to me who photographed it all.
Every time I'm around, my only wish is for one of them to spread their wings that look really amazing! Waving their huge wings can not leave you indifferent especially if you look at it all up close, I personally enjoy those moments very much. This was not the case today, I watched as beautiful birds make a great effort to reach the coast, this is not the first time I see with my own eyes their combativeness and focus to reach their destination!
In the end, however, they managed to climb the ice, their attempts to walk normally on the ice were very clumsy and funy. They looked like ordinary geese to me, but I could not fool myself, I knew that they were magnificent creatures no matter what their current circumstances.
