Duckies and Sunshine by Hiyoko Imai in Amsterdam, The Netherlands

My heart skips a little when duckies & bit of sunshine come out. It’s not particularly a representation of typical Amsterdam cityscape, but I love watching adorable duckies strolling in the city – very peaceful – It makes me forget the traffic of tourists & hustling city-bikers. Duckies are just so cute, especially when they’re couple walking side by side together. You see them throughout the year here.
