Watcha got there?, originally uploaded by Thorsten Becker.
Coming in to Munich first week of August we had a 12 hour layover thanks to the Lufthansa pilot strike. We used the time to go downtown and headed over to the English Garden (I highly recommend a visit). The lake (called Kleinhesseloher See) in the northern part of the park was busy with all sorts of ducks, geese and other water birds. We had some bread on us (thanks to the breakfast and lunch vouchers from Lufthansa) and decided to throw a few pieces here and there. It didn't take long before we were literally beleaguered by almost every bird in the park, squawking, pulling on our trousers and in general being very "demanding". This little guy in particular kept on us. But who can say no to a face like this?
If your life has been busy and stressful lately I encourage you to take some time out, even if its just an hour, and go down to a local park. Enjoy the rest of the summer sun or the first autumn rays, feed some birds, fish, squirrels and connect with what life is really all about.
