A swan family living south of Montauk Highway
This photo was taken on Sunday morning. It reminds me of a poem by Henry Austin Dobson. Here is part of Dobson's poem:

A swan and cygnets, nothing more,
Background of silver, reedy shore,
Dim shapes of rounded trees, the high
effulgence of a summer sky.
Only a snap-shot. Just a flash,
And it was fixed,- the mimic wash,
The parent bird on-oaring slow,
Her fussy little fleet in tow,
The all-pervading sultry haze,
The white lights on the waterways,-
A scene that never was before,
A scene that will be--Nevermore!
