Today I worked from home. And since I miss the exercise of my bicycle rides to and from work I always try to go for a walk. And it was a perfect day, since it made my walk a #wednesdaywalk.

I usually go for a small 3 kilometer walk around the area that takes me through a couple of parks.
The parks are really nice at the moment. Although the peak is over, some flowers are still nicely in bloom.
Like these beautifully bright rhododendron bush that is standing next to the water.

And things are blooming even in the water as well. These water lilies really brighten up the ditches.

And there was even more in the water. This mother duck and her three ducklings were looking for food. I used to see quite a lot of ducklings in the past, but I tend to see more and more geese and goslings nowadays. I wonder if the increase of geese has something to do with seeing less ducklings. I hope it doesn't.

By the waterside I also found some really unusual, but nice flowers. I had to look up the species and it seems to be a purple iris, but I like the other name better: bearded iris

A bit further along the route I also spotted a white version of it. This flower really has some elegant looking petals.

I finished my round with a walk in a more wooded park. It was really nice and quiet. Usually I always spot a lot of people walking their dogs, but not today.

After a half our I had recharged my battery enough to get back to work.
