swallows

swallows

I'm very happy with this shot because swallows move so quickly that it's hard to photograph them. After watching for a few minutes, I noticed that they flew around this tree quite often, so I focussed just above the tree, waited for them to come to me, and was rewarded with this shot of two swallows.
