This week's shots were from our trip to Lake Lucerne, a few years ago. Lake Lucerne is Switzerland’s most popular lake, well known all over Europe. Lucerne itself is surrounded by water, since not only does it sit on the lake but it also is split in two by the River Reuss. Bird lovers will be able to see large flocks of sea birds in the middle of the city.
There were plentiful of seagulls, swans, geese and other sea birds moving gracefully around the lake.
While taking pictures of the city, a flock of seagulls flew towards us and stood still as though to welcome us. When they realised no chips were coming their way they fluttered their wings and flapped wildly by the strong gusts of wind. It looked fun.
It was incredible to see their beautiful wings spread in such graceful flight around the lake. The lovely seagulls were truly putting on a show for us.

ReplyDeleteI also read you tribute to your FIL. My father died of heart desease three years ago. He was 88. I recognize the pattern in your discription. Good that you took him home. Like you FIL, Daddy did not want to die in the hospital. Amazingly, and thanks to my mother, he was granted that last wish.
Happy Weekend, you beautiful soul!
