A walk to the ducks again.
And a walk to the flower shop

Happy me feeding the ducks. But this picture was taken 2013-02-21. Than I met someone who could take a picture of me.
2013-03-14. This time it was cold and I had my red Arctic jacket on. I fed the ducks with my left hand and took pictures with my right hand.

I had the ducks around my legs and on my shoes :-)

2013-03-14. More ducks were coming from the pond.
2013-03-14. All wanted to get the food.
2013-03-14. Here I had many of them around my legs.
2013-03-14. I put bread on the bridge railing for the female. I call for Quackely.
2013-03-14. Then the male named Quack-quack also came.
2013-03-14. Another male also came.
2013-03-14. But Quack-quack did not allow him come to my hand.
2013-03-14. I fed him later and then also Quack-quack was eating..
2013-03-14. Quack-quack was real hungry.
2013-03-14. Quackely was flying away.
2013-03-14. They are  looking so funny :-)
2013-03-14. They were real hungry.
2013-03-14. I think both were happy for the food.
2013-03-14. Later I was walking on the path and then the ducks were following me and I threw bread to them.
2013-03-14.  Some did reach me and were eating.
2013-03-14.  Still following me.
2013-03-14. This male was beautiful.
2013-03-14. Three beautiful males.
2013-03-14.  Trying to get the food.
2013-03-14. Trying to get the food.
2013-03-14. Another picture of the beautiful male.
2013-03-14. Begging for food.
2013-03-14.  Suddenly she was biting in my trousers
2013-03-14. Here she was biting too. I'm glad this trousers are strong. I told Fjällräven in facebook the trouser are "duck proof". And they were laughing when I told this :-)
2013-03-14. Quack-quack and Quackely sitting on the railing and looking at me
2013-03-14. It was real fun they were eating out of my hand.
 
It became warmer and slippery. I could not make so many walks on icy roads. The snow also went dirty and ugly because of the sand an grit on the roads.

A short walk to the flower shop

2013-03-28. I made a walk to the flower shop in our neighbourhood. I felt happy to see all the flowers. I was longing for the spring.
2013-03-28. First it was thawing and then it went VERY cold. So the snow did not melt and there were icy places on the roads.

On this picture bare ground and dirty snow walls. Here it was not slippery and I could make a walk to the flower shop that day.

2013-03-24. This day I made a turkey roll in the oven. Here Ove is cutting the meat.
2013-03-24. It tasted delicious
2013-03-24. It was not dark yet but the moon was already shining, big and orange.
2013-03-28. Here I took picture of the cabinets there the flower keeps cook. I came on the picture in the mirror.
2013-03-28. It was +1 degrees Celsius this day and the Easter tiwgs with feathers and the daffodils could stand this temperature.
2013-03-28. Also these flowers could the cold outside. But in the evening they took away them because then there was frost again.
2013-03-28. They had so many nice things in the flower shop
2013-03-28. Close-up pictures of a big daffodil
2013-03-28. These flowers have such a nice colour 
2013-03-28. Decoration chickens.
2013-03-28. Miniature daffodils.
2013-03-28. Nice decorated baskets.
2013-03-28. A decoration egg and chicken on a plant.
2013-03-28. Flowers in another cabinet. Also here I'm in the mirror
2013-03-28. It looks like I'm standing inside the cabinet between the flowers. You can see me twice here :)
2013-03-28. The roses in a cold cabinet.
2013-03-28. Pelargonium's.
2013-03-28. They also hade tulips.
2013-03-28.  More tulips and other flowers.
2013-03-28. Daffodils.
2013-03-28. There was a plant with these flowers. I only have a close-up of one flower. I think it looks like a star.
2013-03-28.
2013-03-28. I walked home, passing the dirty snow hills..
2013-03-28. I did not like the dirty snow hills at all. But as it was colder, they did not melt away.
2013-03-28. It was icy around the house there I'm living. I could not reach the trash house. I was afraid to slip and fall.
2013-04-03. This day it was worse. This kind of ice is called "svall-is" That means surge ice. Melted snow runs from the ground or hills on the street and then it's freezing. This is VERY dangerous. Spike overshoes will hardly stick in the ice. You should need climbing irons to stick in this.
2013-03-28. Another picture of the surge ice on the yard.
2013-03-28. I bought these miniature daffodils. Outside it was about -16 degrees Celsius a night. It was good to have som spring inside.
2013-03-28. This beautiful moon was shining. It's comforting to know that there is light in the darkness.
