The not so ugly duckling

As I’ve told earlier, I recently visited Stockholm. While we were there we had a walk along one of the parks there and we spotted this strange action. A lot of Barnacle geese came swimming hurriedly passed us. They were in a great rush obviously, as they used both wings and feet to get maximum speed.

Stockholm

green tree I’ve just spent the weekend in Stockholm together with my girlfriend. A nice city to visit as long as the sun is shining and the weather is warm. And luckily for us, that was the case this weekend. Among else we went for a long walk trough the Djurgården park. A nice park with a lot of birds. Several pictures will soon follow :-)
