I HAD SEEN

little fields of snowdrops and winter aconites in a garden near our home. Not at an easy spot to take pictures. Could I just ring their bell and ask if I was allowed to enter their garden? Perhaps I could, but I remembered then that at the Madestein park near the big pond there had been fields of snowdrops last year.
Before I cycled to the park I first went to feed 'my' swan family. Yesterday I had found the four grown up children, but no father, today I saw them all reunited. What are the children growing fast!!!
I found the snowdrops at the same place at Madestein and kneeled and did my best ( I had brought my macro lens as well).
In the big pond I found so many birds (coots, gulls, all kind of ducks, a pair of Egyptian geese and one pair Canadian geese and six youngs swans with one parent).
I had to go to the supermarket not far from there and buy food seeing them expecting some. The young swans ate out of my hand, the coots eagerly ate of the oat flakes and the gulls circled and cried loudly and dived to have their share too.
I took pictures at random and had to choose one.

My haiku:

It is still winter
Sun and Wind dance together
Above the big pond

And the proverb:

Als hadden komt, is hebben te laat.

Translation: If ' had' comes, ' have' is too late.
