Swans in Takamatsu ike part 2

Gradually ice of Takamatsu ike starts to melt

Day is getting longer and I can feel the light of spring 

Since Morioka is surrounded by mountains it is really hard to see sunrise and sunset

Especially in winter, mountain is always covered with snow clouds

and sun dives inside the thick clouds

If you think swans are quiet and elegant birds you are wrong 

I will show you how greedy they are

One piece of bread and one can get lots of blames 

One piece of bread strikes a spark

one swan ran to catch a bread......

but failed to stop........

Noisy quarrel










One morning when I was tired of study

Obstacle in front of swans

Trying to overcome








Afternoon

It must be good for them to groom their feather with sunset

Sorry to swans but smiles come up to my face when I see them stuck in the ice

They walk with great confidence on the ice with huge step.....

.......then stuck

Portrait

one warm afternoon.... spring is coming

Swans part 1

I am taking brief rest on my exam period and uploading this post 

Many swans come to Takamatsu ike and many people give them bread

Swans remember faces of people who give them bread

Therefore they pay little attention to me

Even relationship between swans and me is not so close,

swans in Takamatsu ike always cheer me up

They have lots of energy and those energy blow up clouds inside my mind

Afternoon Meal

I have doubt about feeding wild animals

Swans in Takamatsu ike deeply rely on breads 

One morning when we had heavy snow fall

Foot prints of a swan on lake

The other morning

I wake up early to study 

But sometimes I jumped out of my room to take pictures of the lake

Heat of swan
or
Swans come to dip in water

Stuck family
Swans often come towards to me expecting that they can get breads
But sometimes they are prevented by the presence of ice and stuck for a while 

Nothing special but I like the color of this picture

One afternoon

Many ducks use their time breaking ice

 Pond in Kitakami city 

I went to my friend's native place which is next to my city 

There was a pond and there were also many winter birds

Foot prints of a rabbit
