Mallards in bay of Toolo

I leave you for a few days with these two images of some of the birdlife in Helsinki. Allthough the sea is still quite frozen closer to the shores this bit of water gets ice free early on as it is close to a bridge and there's always a stream under bridges. That is of course good for the birds.





I'd like to wish all my visitors a happy Easter. May the Easter bunny have a lot of chocolate eggs to bring you.


This Easter cactus of mine will enchant this blog until after Easter. See you then.

  4. That cactus is splendiforous. Easter cactus?

    I don't understand why those ducks aren't in a warmer climate...

  5. I think I would prefer to have the Easter cactus rather than chocolate eggs. But I hope you have a wonderful Easter.

  11. Mallards must be the most common ducks in the world. We have lots here too in Canada. We do not have Whooping Swans though. Our Tundra Swans look similar but have plain black beaks. Hope you have a fine Easter break.

    There is something very poetic about the composition of that first shot.

  18. Gorgeous flower !!

    I am glad things are looking a bit warmer for you in Finland...

    Thanks for your nice comment(s) in my blog...I appreciate it. I am also flattered you want to give me an award...I don't usually post awards on my site, though...seems so "braggadocious" to post those kind of things, and I am a humble kind of guy...but it is always nice to be appreciated...so, thanks!!

    Cheers,

    Scotty
