Springtime walk

Gavin and I took a beautiful walk to a neighbouring village this morning. The path along the river is always pretty, and today was no exception. In addition to the duck we shared the path with above, we also saw lots of super-cute little ducklings. I love to see these fuzzy little ones floating in the water.

Where there were no ducks the water was still, providing really pretty reflections.

In the part of the river nearest our house a family of swans has a nest every year. Gavin and Jacob have been walking over almost daily to check on the progress of this year's eggs. The mom was still sitting on them today.

As you can tell, Gavin was pretty thrilled by the experience. He LOVES birds.
