Curiously fake
Yesterday, my girlfriend and I visited De taart van mijn tante (My auntie’s cake) to celebrate her birthday. When we walked back home, we came by this house with a curious contraption at the front, filled with fake birds and such. Except for the pigeon on top, that one’s real… I think.

A very dead pigeon
Overtoom, 3:00 pm
That’s one very dead pigeon. I think it got run over by a car. I don’t particularly like pigeons actually. There are a lot of sick ones in the city, carrying deceases and such. Still, this one looks very sad, being squashed and all.

A very Zen type of Duck
Botanical garden, Delft 1:30 pm
On Saturday, my girlfriend and I visited the Botanical garden, which is run by the Technical University Delft. During our walk we encountered this duck. Normally, one probably wouldn’t think twice about such a common bird, but this one was sitting very relaxed and quiet under the bridge. It almost seemed like a fake duck at first. Then it started to move its head, although it remained very relaxed on the water, ignoring our presence altogether. It occurred to me that ducks are quite remarkable creatures and look very beautiful when one takes the time to observe them. It could be that I just got sun struck when I thought that, because it was getting quite warm that afternoon.
Hallie Lama’s garden, Hilversum 4:50 pm
Having a barbecue with some good friends in Hilversum. At the same time the Dutch soccer team is playing against Brazil for the world cup. Every time the Dutch team scores, people in the neighbourhood are cheering so loud, it startles the birds. A big flock of birds circles over the garden.
