Ducklings’ school run

A family of ducks out and about for a little evening swim. Never seen so many tiny ducklings together as part of one same family, and seeing how they were all trying to catch up with mum and dad was so cute.

The calm on a summer evening walk

After yet another rainy summer day, I went on a little walk to get that fresh and crisp after-rain air to my local Chiswick house and gardens. I suddenly spotted this beautiful couple of white swans, enjoying their dinner at the little lake. The sun was starting to set and the light was low beneath the trees, so the bright white of the swans in contrast with the dark water and nature around them made it a really beautiful and peaceful scene. I observed them for a while and loved the calm around them.

It’s tea time!

At the lake of Chiswick House & Gardens, a coot family has made a nest. The parents are finding food and feeding the little baby. That’s a heartwarming moment.

Wild Goose Chase

At Chiswick House & Garden, a swan has been chasing the canada geese out of the lake. However when the swan turns around and swims away, the Canada geese return to the water again. The chase keeps going on and on.

Duck Excursion

It seemed to have been raining forever. The ducks did not mind. The water ripples reflected nature and sky alike beautifully, lifting spirits.
