このきせつにしてはきおんがたかすぎたが、きもちのよいひだった。- It was a pleasant day, even

though it was too warm for the season.

Happy Easter!

This year I did not feel like decorating, just for myself it's really no fun. So I skipped it all and just went outside instead. 😎

On Saturday, I decided to go down the hill to a wildlife preserve consisting of a set of ponds. When I got there I immediately regretted my decision, as the temperature was 25.5° C and with the sun blasting it felt like being in an oven. Granted, I could have just dressed in a t-shirt and shorts, but it's just the start of April after all! 😟

No trace of snow left down there, but I found the area still in its winter slumber. The number of birds was very low. I think it will take at least another two weeks for things to come to life. 

I walked around a lot though and spent the whole afternoon there. I waited for the sunset and while the sky was not that spectacular with the lack of clouds it was still a pretty evening and the park offered lots of photo opportunities.

There is pair of nesting ospreys, but unfortunately too far away to get a good photo and I completely missed an osprey flying really close.

I will do a separate post sometime later about my outing today. Just can't fit it all into one, as usual...

    Thank you for the nice pictures. I felt calm and solemn. Do you often go there?

    @Etsuko Thank you for the comment. This was only my second time. I was expecting more life, but spring only gets under way later in April around here and snow can still fall well into May. The temperature swings sometimes can be drastic. 😃

    Thank you for sharing us your wonderful photos as always! The nest of ospreys is really far away, but it’s still a great photo! I’m looking forward to seeing your next post.

    @Kumi Thank you for the nice comment. Yes, I needed a long lens for that. I saw the bird fly, but by the time I got the camera ready it was too late 😄.
