White bird, green leaf

The Chilly Half Marathon is in early March and my entry is in, so after a lazy summer, I am back to running more frequently. Running in Vondelpark is an almost perfect way to train. I say "almost" because I have a little problem - I have to keep stopping to take photos! It is so beautiful.

Perhaps Vondelpark is not so good for my training, but it is wonderful for my spirit. I suppose I should rethink my route so that the park is near the finish rather than the beginning...

In keeping with this week's green and white theme, this photo had to be timed just right to capture the leaf as the bird floated by. Can you see his foot paddling the water?
