can be fatiguing.
There is so much to see and do,
that sometimes it’s hard to keep up,
which is why some sit it out on the sidelines,
and others prefer traveling by boat.
The fit choose to walk,
but whatever your mode of transport,
Aveiro is visual candy!
Cheers to you from Aveiro Portugal~

Thanks for the smile: that precious duckling.
Your comment made me smile! 🙂
The ducklings are precious! I love the colors of the town, right down to the boats.
All together it makes for a charming place indeed!
They use bright colours in Portugal, don’t they? I noticed the Chiwawa has nail polish on, and she is sitting on ‘frozen’ chair! And t looks like there was some seaweed by the water? I hope you are having a lovely time, Cindy!
You are observant Maiko. The canals are saltwater and full of fish and the Aveiro people harvest and sell the salt. They cook with the seaweed and it is quite good. Cheers to you Maiko and thanks for stopping by~
Totally fanciful, yet real. Enjoyable!
Glad you enjoyed Gary, and you are right, some places in Europe, especially the very old towns, do look like fanciful fairy tales!
Visual candy is right Cindy! What a vibrant, colorful city. And thanks for including those cute ducklings and doggie! Enjoy your time there! <3
I photographed Indian Ring Necked Parrots and Monk Parrots in Spain and will be posting them soon. I was shocked to see them. They are not native in any of the places I saw them, but are thriving and breeding now in the wild. You would have loved seeing them Lynn and I will post soon. Be well my friend!
Visual candy indeed. Putting it on my list!
Alison
I sense you keep going and going, far and wide, and your list keeps getting longer! 🙂 Good for you! Mine is shrinking now.
Oh darn! 🙂 This place was on my list when I was up in Porto. Ah well- next time! 🙂
Porto is lovely too, but more touristy, plus there is the port to consider!! 🙂
I thought you meant port as in ships, and then the penny dropped, Cindy. How could I forget THAT port 🙂
Very proDUCKtive, my friend! (☆▽☆)
Thank you duckly much! <3 (☆▽☆) <3
A beautiful postcard
Abrigada!
You find the most interesting places to show us Cindy.
Thank you for having an interested mind Pauline!
The ducklings are darling. You go to the most beautiful places and take the lovliest pictures, Cindy. It’s the next best thing to going there ourselves. Thanks for sharing. 🙂 — Suzanne
Thank you so much for traveling along with me. You make the experience richer~ <3
Like gorgeous licorice allsorts. 🙂
What lovely imagery and it fits too!
Love the color! And who doesn’t love ducklings… 🙂 –Curt
Only the Disney wicked witches!
Wonderfully vibrant shots and I love the cute ducklings. Obrigada!
Obrigada and so glad you enjoyed~
Ute and colorful post! Not been to Aveiro, but really liked Portugal!
Portugal is a fascinating country~
What outstanding shots, Cindy! Those fuzzy ducks are darling, but part of me feels a bit sorry for the “dolled-up” pooch in her ‘Frozen’ chair! Love the reflection of these colorful buildings in the water, too!
Yes, I felt that way too. I am much happier seeing dogs be dogs. It was a street celebration day so let’s hope it was like Halloween when people dress up their pooches for parades.
Well done Cindy, beautiful city.
It is a lovely, relaxing place~
Beautiful place Cindy 😀
I knew you would love the creative design Irene~
You are right Cindy 🙂
Love those little duckies! Great closeups 🙂
Ducklings this tiny are completely irresistable, especially navigating a serious boating canal~
Thank you for the photos, the place is beautiful.
Thank you more for visiting and appreciating~

Merci beaucoup mon ami Bernard!
Looks like a paradise for photographers!!!! So beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us Cindy!
Yes, it is charming and picturesque~
Cutest duck and dog photos Ever 😀 xoxo
Ahhh, so pleased you enjoyed and cheers to you~
Gorgeous photos Cindy, the vivid colors blow me away 🙂
Aren’t they wonderful! No boring beige houses~
As usual, you take amazing photos. The ducks are really cute!
Thank you and I agree with you, those ducks are heartbreakers!
Reblogged this on Random Ramblings; Myriad Musings and commented:
Beautiful scenery from Aveiro, Portugal, courtesy of Cindy – don’t forget to “make way for ducklings!”
😉
Lovely pictures!
Well now, isn’t this just ducky ??? 🙂 From your pics, it would seem that a mallard is a mallard, is a mallard, no matter where you find them. The boats and the buildings were beautiful too, Cindy. 🙂
Exactly right. I have seen them everywhere except Antarctica! Today we are going to the Tagus Estuary which is one of Europe’s most important bird reserves. I will certainly see mallards but hopefully flamingos and a whole lot more!
You are so creative with your story lines – great pics and I too would be on the sidelines taking in all the colorful beauty.
I wish we could have met and gone out for dinner~ <3
Cindy – the colors – are the best – but my fav is that you can almost feel the soft feathers with your clear photos – really nice…
xoxo

Awwww, what a lovely comment. Thank you!
Oh good, because I fell in love with those plucky duckys!
Beautiful place, and is not very far from me so I might one day go visit
I highly recommend. It has a very mellow vibe~
What a gorgeous spot, Cindy! The colors are marvelous. It looks like you’re really having a wonderful time. The shot of the dog is priceless!
I bet she love to tear those sequins to shreds! 🙂
This is one of my dreams to visit a city on a canal.
The ones I have visited and can recommend are Brugge, Aviero, Venice, Amsterdam and Copenhagen. Of these, Aviero is the least touristed and quietest.
I just love those colorful boat pictures. What a delightful post, Cindy!
Thank you! Aviero is a wonderful place so the post was easy.
Splendid!
So appreciated! 🙂
Abrigada!
Gorgeous vivid photographs!
Awww, I’m honored!
Made me smile!
Your comment made me smile~ 🙂
Liebe Cindy das sind ja wirkliche traumhaft Fotos von der Entenfamilie wunderschön toll hab eine gute Nacht das wünsche ich dir Klaus in Freundschaft
Vielen Dank. Die kleinen Entenküken waren bezaubernd! Ich bin froh Sie ihnen gefallen!
I’m waving at you in Aveiro Portugal and enjoying the visual candy <3 🙂
Waving back to you across the sea!
Love these gorgeous photos and narrative. I have put Averio on my travel plans! Charming!!!
Oh, I am so glad you have and look forward to hearing your impressions when you visit! Cheeers to you~
These are such gorgeous photos.
Your kindess is much appreciated~
fabulous !
Obrigada!
Very picturesque – I do not even know where it is…thank you for taking us!
If you go back to Portugal, I suggest you stop by here. It is quiet and charming and photogenic!
I most certainly will!
<3
Beautiful photos, Cindy. Just like water running off a duck’s back! 😀 Happy weekend!
Laughing! Exactly~ <3
I see you’ve made some great new friends there ~ great photo of the ducklings, great paddling partners for sure. A wonderful set of photos, love the canal and storefront shot of Aveiro, truly is visual candy! Nothing quite like following along on your adventures (even if a bit late!). Cheers to you Cindy ~
Wonderful to hear from you Randall and very glad you enjoyed Aveiro. Heading over to see if you have a new post~
Very pretty Ms. Cindy, great pictures, beautiful vibrant colors.
Reblogged this on Truth Troubles: Why people hate the truths' of the real world.
I was just over reading your poems which are wonderful! Thank you for your thougthfulness my friend~ <3
Gasp! Can you imagine living here, everyday walking around the water, beautiful boats and colourful buildings. It’s like a Art Journal come to life. Spectacular! Is it very quite there or are you perhaps up early to get these shots? There’s hardly anyone around except the sweet little ducks. They’re so cute when they paddle around. Wonderful to start my day with you in Europe x B
For me the crack of dawn is 9:30am! Aveiro is like an uncrowded little Venice. In Venice a vaparetto ride costs a boatload (sorry! 😉 and the crowds are legion. Aveiro was sleepy, peaceful and uncrowded when we visited. I don’t like crowds, so Aveiro is just perfect. Cheers to you and have a wonderful week!
Looks like a cross between amsterdam and venice.
Exactly! Brugge too~
Love, love the ducks…. and the mural!
Portugal has some of the most incredible murals I have seen anywhere. You would love it Resa~
