Every spring in Anchorage, Alaska, there’s chatter around town about swan sightings. The swans pass through the area on their way to nesting grounds above the Arctic Circle. For us to see them in Southcentral Alaska, we have to look quickly. The swans don’t stay around long.

The reference photo for this project was taken by my good friend, Ole Jordan, a terrific wildlife photographer in his spare time. Ole has graciously made this photo available at a heavily discounted price. Click on the link below and grab yours for just $5. It’s great to support another artist!
