A while ago we celebrated my mummy's birthday with a day trip out of town. I love riding trains, love traveling - it's a pity this happens so rarely in my life. A good news is, now I have a new smartphone that is capable of taking awesome photos. Let me share with you some recent photos from this trip.

It was a sunny day and the sun illuminated the water of this little stream where I noticed six or seven drakes were swimming - I did not see a single female duck! Why does the water have such a strange color, you may ask? Indeed, the color is not ordinary, not what you can see everyday. My mom told me, the reason for that is that the stream flows through some peat bogs - so it is the peat that colors the water brown. And the sun turned this intense brown color into various shades of amber - that’s why I got such attractive photographs, even although the drakes didn’t show anything special in the photos.

Also, while I was taking the pics I noticed a rat running quickly on the far side of the stream. It darted along the stream so quickly that there was no way to take a pic, I could only notice the movement and recognise who it was. For a city dweller this was a fun, although I understand, for a rural dweller to see a rat next door to his house would be disaster and pure frustration. I hope you liked my photos, and support my post. Have a nice day!
