Hierarchy

I was walking the dog a few weeks ago, when i noticed something different about the lake.
At first i couldn't put my finger on it, but then i realized what had changed.
It was full of swans.
Now, i know i'm always taking swan pictures by the lakes, and maybe you're wondering why day this was so different, but the thing is that for a long time (i can't say exactly how long), only two swans have been living in this lake.
According to a man i often talk to while we walk our dogs together, the male swan in this couple have been doing a good job at being an alpha bird and keeping all the other swans confined to their own lakes, but no more.
He even speculated that the grumpy, old bird had perhaps passed away, but i don't believe that to be the case.
For the past week i've been observing both lakes as i ride my bike to work, and get this; the lake where all the other swans used to live now has (you probably guessed it): two swans in it!
They must have pulled a swan-switcharoo!
I wish i knew an ornithologist who could explain this situation to me, but for now i'm sticking to my own hypothesis; the King has been dethroned.

The king and his queen?
The victors

Another pretty common bird in Copenhagen is the Great Blue Heron.
I have always loved these, and whenever they stand close to populated areas, i always have to stop for a moment to appreciate them.
They look so beautiful and out of place in a city, and that just makes me love them more.
For a long time, before i finally decided to go with the fox idea, i wanted Shige to do a Heron on me, and i still want a Heron tattoo at some point.

I felt like embracing fall today!

We were supposed to go out tonight, but because we still can't seem to get rid of our colds, we stayed in with some pizza and a movie.
Come to think of it, that's pretty much how we spend every Friday!
But at least we had a wonderful day at work.
