Description
Esquimalt Lagoon is just west of the city of Victoria, Cancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, and is a popular stopover for thousands of migratory birds traveling the migrations routes from the Arctic to southern wintering grounds. Because of the mild climate of Vancouver Island, a great many ducks, swans,geese and other birds make this their wintering grounds. It's a popular place for bird watching of course, because it's a protected area and the birds feel safe in the park-like setting. We especially love to watch the swans and I was happy to catch these two in a pose which immediately generated the title for the shot.

A little about me:
My name is Janet but I go by Jann, and I am originally from Ontario, Canada and have lived on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, since 1985.
I love the seacoast and mountains, so many of my photos are from British Columbia, Alberta, Vancouver Island, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island. My main photo themes are sea, coastal,villages, people, portraits, mountains, trees, lakes, waterfalls, flowers, nature,wildlife, birds, animals, landscapes, sunsets, and the great National Parks of Canada such as Jasper,Banff, Waterton, Cape Breton Highlands, Yoho, Glacier, Kootenay,Mt. Robson, Strathcona and others.

In the art world, I was initially trained as a Commercial Artist and Illustrator and eventually explored many other methods of art/style as well as other mediums. I work in pencil, ink, acrylics, watercolor and oil pastels. I have also enjoyed mosaic design and application, floor murals, wall murals, collapsible screens, floor cloths, graphic design. Explored sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, hand painted furniture, refinishing old frames with gold leaf or faux finishes, interior design and interior decorating.

With the advent of digital cameras I came to really enjoy photography both as an artistic expression as well as a foundation for capturing interesting and exciting compositions to be painted later.

My recent creative endeavour was graduating from a certified Cosmetology Program (hairstylist and esthetics) in March 2009.
