Der heutige Tag war bis zum Nachmittag trocken und auch die Sonne hat sich wieder einmal gezeigt.

Because the weather was really really nice at noon today, I was able to drive to the Drau reservoir for a littkle walk, after a long time.
Unfortunately dark clouds of thunderstorms soon came up, so I could only take a few photos of the swans.

Weil das Wetter heute mittags wirklich richtig schön war, konnte ich seit langem wieder einmal zum Drau Stausee fahren und ein bisschen spazieren gehen.
Leider zogen bald dunkle Gewitterwolken auf, und ich konnte deshalb nur ein paar Fotos von den Schwänen schießen.

The title is "Swans and Flies" - where are the flies? Can you see the black dots in the photos? Thousands of small black flies flew over the reservoir and, of course, around the swans.

Der Titel heißt "Schwäne und Fliegen" - wo sind denn nun die Fliegen? Könnt ihr die schwarzen Punkte auf den Fotos sehen? Tausende von kleinen schwarzen Fliegen flogen über dem Stausee und natürlich auch rund um die Schwäne herum. Die Flecken sind also keine Sensorflecken meiner Kamera ;)

All photos were taken with the Canon EOS R and the Canon lens EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS II USM.

Alle Fotos wurden mit der Canon EOS R und dem Canon Objektiv EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS II USM geschossen.

Good pictures of The Swan. Good thing that the weather let you get out and take some photos. To bad the weather didn't cooperate for you to get more.

Thank you very much for this nice comment, @goldkey 😊

Yes, it was raining a lot, the last days and weeks have really been very wet, and it seems not to stop raining for the next days. So, I have to take every chance to go out photographing, when it is somehow a bit dry for a short while.

Thank you so much for resteeming my post, dear @pixresteemer ;)

Great swam shots and I wouldn't have seen the flies if you haven't told in your post. Also zoomed in very nice shots...looking for the flies.

Thank you so much, @tijntje, I thought I should mention the flies, before someone tells me about the sensor dust on the photos :)

Pessimists say that brandy smells like stink bugs, while optimists say that stink bugs smell like brandy, but I am sure that they both prefer when cutlets are separate from flies)))

I am sure that those who want to see and count flies against the background of this beautiful swan will cope with their task. It is enough for me to admire the photos that my friend @Johannpiber made, and to know that there are flies somewhere))

I haven't heard this saying before, but I like it, and it is so true ... like this one: the pessimist says "the glass is half empty" and the optimist says "the glass is half full" ;)

I haven't seen the flies, when I took the photos, and at the monitor at home I thought, that there is much dust on my camera sensor, but then I saw the flies :)))

Thank you very much again, I wish you a good night and a nice weekend, my friend @barski 😊

Such elegant birds! But those flies? Not so elegant! !Tip

Thank you so much, @melinda010100 😊
You are so right. At first I thought it were sensor dust from my camera, but then I have seen the flies. If I hat only one photo to post, I would have cleaned it in Photoshop, but to clean up all the photos, I would would not be ready by now ;)

Sweet shots of the swans and I probably would not have noticed the flies if you had not mentioned it

Have a super weekend my friend

Thank you JJ, when I reviewed the photos I have thought of a lot of sensor dust at first, then I have recognized the flies ;)
Wish you a great weekend too, JJ :)

I had that happen with me once in Uganda, I was confused why so many spots on my shots, then a colleague laughed and we walked out by the lake and I saw them all, early morning a sunrise i didnt see them, but the camera did ;)

... I am not alone ;)

not at all here is one of the shots I was talking about :) 3523684338_6ff817a6e7_z.jpg

Although I cannot zoom in, I can see it 🙃

Ohh yes they were more obvious in this photo than yours, I still cannot get over I didnt notice them in the early morning light

This beautiful sunrise has caught all your attention, so you simply could not see the flies.

Oh yes, I saw the flies. :-) But the swans are so graceful.

Yes, I agree and thank you so much, @nelinoeva, I love swans, they are so majestic in their behaviour.

These are really nice activity photos of the swans.

Thank you, @kamrunnahar, they know me by now, because they see me quite often there and come real close to me :)
