"Honey I shrunk the kids!"
 
Our weather and light can be so dull that I am always looking for ways in which I can inject colour into my photographs. Backlighting can often create some wonderful effects.
 
Lapwing

The setting sun can also create a colourful backdrop.
Here the Whoopers flew low enough to create a composition whereby the pale purple of the sky matched the purple hues in the landscape perfectly.
 
It was the scene below that really appealed to my sense of humour. The sun was going down fast and along with the adult Whooper swans swan two mallard hybrid ducks. It really made me think of the title "Honey I shrunk the kids!"
