for the birds!

Well, I've been out a few times to see the ducks... it's such a long walk. I'm looking to buy myself a bike. I would be able to get fresh air, a bit of exercise and not have to walk 3 miles to get there. I'm just not sure what bike I want. There is a Schwinn at Canadian tires that looks pretty nice, but I have no info on it.. and as far as I can see, it may be just a cheap version that Schwinn makes in huge quantities just for Canadian Tire. I also saw one I like at Walmart's... yes, yes, I know.. the big conglomerate that will eat up all of the stores here... but for me, I just cannot afford a 500$ bike.. so if I can get a really nice one for 200$ I'll be quite happy. They have a cruiser style bike that I like with schimano brakes and speeds. I want to have a basket on it.. so I can bring stuff.. like bread for the birds, my camera, of course.. some water. Both of these bikes are really very cute, the one at Canadian tires is more mountain-type bike and the one at Walmart's is gorgeous.. it is black and white, very retro looking and has white wall tires and fenders!!! I love those... it's really very pretty.

Oh.. and a couple of pics of birds, cause Jago passed by yesterday and said how much he liked birds, so I thought I'd upload a few I took the other day.

This gull is of course doing it's morning gargling!



and including this one, cause I like how from quite a distance, I got quite a sharp detail in his eye!:
