This book is for you. Its about living in the moment with Wisdom and Grace. Here it is. As messengers, swans symbolize grace and beauty, but also transformation. Transformation is about Wisdom. Wisdom shared by the quotations. Juxtaposed to these uplifting nature scenes and pictures of swans on water of a female swan Tony Lyle befriended, while exploring and photographing the changing seasons of New England. For five years, Tony Lyle took beautiful swan photography in winter scene photos, New England fall photos, summer landscapes, and swan sunsets.

Swans also represent love, loyalty, and spiritual perfection in nature, which make them an ideal muse for beautiful nature photography at Turning Mill Pond in Canterbury Shaker Village. Beautiful nature photography, including black and white swan photos, and wisdom quotations about the nature of love, grief recovery, and personal transformation.

These photos of nature's tranquility or calm is meant to be inspirational, motivational, restorative strength to manage difficult transformational emotions. Remember, calm within yourself.

The artist Tony Lyle Westbrook, photographer and curator of Wisdom and Grace expresses,"My artistic process is a combination of technique and timing. I listen for the alignment of elements to build the composition. To arrive at an original moment spontaneously... When the elements line up just right. I can create. The elements fuse into Art."

Once upon a time, while living in New England.
I discovered a fairytale New Hampshire setting at Canterbury Shaker Village.
Where I began photographing a Mute Swan at Turning Mill Pond. I named her, ÒGracie.Ó

All four distinct New England seasons. Photographing her experiences.
Five years of visiting the pond.
To observe the seasonal transformations captured through my photography.
I hope the quotations and photography throughout this book resonate for you.
That you find them at the perfect moment, and in a perfect way.
Especially, during a life crisis. For perspective and connection.

Wisdom and Grace.
Strength of The Soul.
