After a night and morning of heavy rain, the sun emerged from the thinning clouds this afternoon, long enough for me to put my reading aside for a few hours and go out to enjoy it. I hunted down my young cousin, borrowed his bicycle and went on a short bike ride to one of the two lakes nearby, Hålandsvatn. Both lakes have nice trails around them and are absolutely wonderful when the weather is good, whether is it for a walk, a picnic, or some swimming in the summer.
The area surrounding the lakes are mainly residential areas and a few farms. On my hour and a half or so bike ride around the lake and back to the apartment, I passed all sorts of creatures, some pictures below.
Wow. How Cute!!
