Saturday was a busy day in Bruges, with people scurrying about and lunching at outdoor cafes, while others sat back to watch the boats on the canals float past and the peaceful poise of the swans.
Bruges, Belgium ~ April 30, 2011
“The swan in the pool is singing,
And up and down doth he steer,
And, singing gently ever,
Dips under the water clear.”
…..Heinrich Hine
….Until next time, Honey

Such beautiful photographs!
ReplyDeleteI have just had a big catch up and read your previous posts. I am so happy that your vacation was so wonderful. I am sorry to hear that you had a sinus infection on your return though. I always seem to get that when I come back from holidays. I guess our bodies need time to re-adjust.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes and happy week,
Natasha.
Looks like a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by, and in answer to your question, the water in my photo was from snow melt.
What beautiful photos of Bruges! I was SO looking forward to seeing Bruges, and the day we got there I was sick. I went on the tour anyway, but it wasn't fun. Nevertheless, I loved this beautiful city. (March 2011)

What beautiful pictures. Somehow I always end up with lots of pictures of the birds and animals that live around here. Probably because I love them so much, as I'm sure you do too.
