This is my second photo of a bird. Is it coincidence that I have seen impressive birds in the first two months of this year? Has my sister converted me to an animal lover? Or is it some Freudian obsession with Sesame Street.

This a Stork in The Hague. It would appear it is there town emblem and mascot type thing. I read somewhere on the internet that its because in the olden days.(Pre Electric guitar), the storks used to clean up all the crap after the fish market had been in town, thus ensuring that people did die from some rotting-fishhead bourne disease. Now there's a fact you didn't know!

The Mauritshuis in the Hague. Vermeers and Rembrandts and a far more manageable size than the RijksMuseum in Amsterdam.
