Lady of the Lake

Currently one of my favorite pictures that I've taken (EVER)!!  I've officially titled this shot "Lady of the Lake" or "Middleton's Lady of the Lake"
Taken at: Middleton Plantation, Charleston, South Carolina

Charleston is like a home away from home, I enjoy the history of Charleston as well as it's southern charm and beauty.  (Almost makes me wish we had Spanish moss in the oaks of Virginia BUT I know it's almost as bad as ticks in pine straw...)

There's a story behind this lady, her mate died about 2 years ago and they replaced him with another male swan, the Lady however would have nothing to do with him and he too died.  I have a few postcards from Middleton Plantation that show the lake and (in one) a pair of swans and (on another) three swans.  I can't help but wonder if the swan I captured this beautiful picture of is one of the swans in the postcard!
