Samstag, it was above 80 deg F, and I went for an epic run.

I took pictures too.  I ran all over Northeast Stuttgart.  I got hot, sunburnt, but pretty darn happy.   It was really amazing to stop and photo these nesting swans.  Immediately after, I trotted about 30 ft and saw a crow lay down and die in the grass.  Bizarre start to the epic journey.

Mama Swan on the nest

Nine babies waiting to hatch, she counts them.

Mama leaves for a snack, Daddy comes in to take over duty.

Yep, nine babies here.

Circling to make sure, Mama sure is enjoying her break.

Little ugly ducklings inside.

What teamwork!  Daddy settles in.

Weird little hill that has a spiral path and view.

Hoehe park.

Tomb at the cemetary I happened upon as I had to take many detours to find home.




NOT ON MY RUN, OTHER PICS :)


Okay, so I didn't see this guy on my run, but a few days earlier.  We snuggled.  I miss Dora.
