Ducks and Swans Have Style, Don't They?
I want to share with you some photographs I happen to take few days back when I was strolling in the park with a special someone. Near our home, which is in the very center of the city, we are surrounded by various parks and this place here in the image is one among our favorites.

Why this park has become our fave? It is because of the vicinity to our flat, only three-minute walk, then it is also near the central station. Moreover, it has the pond/canal in it where many ducks and swans dwell as well as birds flock for some food. There is also a covered park in across the canal where dears, rabbits and oter four-legged creatures live. It is surrounded with fence however.

Anothe factor thatmake us love this place is its afternoon sun. It perfectly hits the benches fronting the lake so while we sweet talk to each other, there is a good view of nature, i good sun to balance the "summer" plus a good bench to sit. Reading is also possible. In short, it is simply relaxing and beautiful.


Sharing here the photos I have taken especially with the ducks and swans that caught my attention. Moreover, I never knew that ducks could dive... I saw there when it was looking for food, a good black duck was submerging from time to time staying long under the water. Simply an entertaining view. The next time I do hope I can make a shot of it.
