Wednesday walk: along the side of the small river (Pistoia)

Hello hivers, an happy Wednesday to you all!
It's time to write a new content for the awesome #Wednesdaywalk community! ❤️ Now here it's raining hard, but this morning there were just few clouds on the sky and so I spent a pause from my work on art walking along the side of the river close to my home.
At first you have to know my home is out of the center of my city (even if my city is a small one and I can go side by side in just 30 minutes by walking 😁) and a small river called Brana is just few minutes from here. It's a nice, quiet green area where ducks and birds live and, not so far, there is the main graveyard so it's a silent area, perfect to walk to move the legs in relax in a springtime day.

When I go there I have always my camera with me, because there are awesome different birds and also some families of mallard ducks. This morning I walked there with my hubby Hive account@paolobeneforti before the lunch. While we were walking I watched a couple of beautiful grey wagtail (Motacilla cinerea) with their yellow bellies and I took some pics of them to share with you. Here in my area we use to call this kind of bird "ballerina gialla" (in italian means "yellow dancer" and it's very common to watch a lot of them close to the rivers or the lakes.
These 2 ones were flying and jumping on some branches fallen down on the water after the rainy and windy days. They fly and jump very fast and so it was not so simple for me to take decent pics, sorry. ❤️

Close to them there was also a beautiful female mallard duck. She was cleaning her body after she took a bath in the water. Around one month ago, during one of my walking there, I watched many little mallards, the newborns of some families that live there and I'm pretty sure soon we could see them in a adult way swimming around during the next months. ❤️

Well, now I have to come back to my brushes and colors while the raindrops are falling down from the sky in a very hard way. I cross my finger for a couple of sunny hours tomorrow, so I could come back to walk along the side of the river.

See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia
