Jealousy.

Walking on the fields in a cold November in Iowa in search of the perfect picture, a beautiful distinctive sound brought me to a fascinating image of a group of trumpeter Swans by a harvested field. While photographing them, a sweet couple united creating the silhouette of a heart and the expression of eternal mates. A third looks away in total disdain of embarrassment and jealousy.

Trumpeter Swans.

In the 1930s, only 69 trumpeters were known to be alive in the United States and those were all in Yellowstone and the Centennial Valley of Montana. Today populations of Trumpeter swans are over 2,000 in the U.S. This image portraits the celebration of the respect for nature and the glory of freedom.
