The Little Birds Said, “This and That.”

I have never seen such plump little birds! People everywhere in Switzerland make feeding the wild birds part of their daily routine.

There are entire shops like this one devoted to the feeding and housing of wild birds.

Do they smell a rat? A common foe in Montreux makes for a delicate alliance. Even the street cats like this one are fat and healthy.

Maybe it’s the wine that makes everyone so mellow? Of course it could be the beer….

Or maybe it’s all the exercise? The Swiss like to bicycle up the Alps. I like to sit in the train and take their picture. These last shots were taken from The Glacier Express train.

Of course it could be the continuous hits of Alpine beauty.

The lucky Swiss!

Who knows what it is? Maybe it’s in the water…..

I’m heading off the train now to go eat some Rosti with Swiss cheese!
And at the request of my good blogging friend Yellowcable, I have added a late addition, Rosti with Swiss cheese, minus a bite or three taken before the photo. I can’t help it. I’m powerless over rosti.

Gorner Gorge, Valais, Swiss Alps, Zermatt Switzerland.

Hiking in The Alps is justifiably world famous.

The catwalks up this gorge were constructed in the 1800’s and make for quite an impressive hike for those who are not acrophobic.

This rarely photographed mountain is here too!

There are delightful wooden Swiss chalets everywhere. Zermatt’s old town was built between the 16th-18th century. I will post some photos of these incredible wooden chalets soon.

The Matterhorn is particularly lovely in the evening when the clouds move in.

After an exhilarating day hiking, it’s time to relax and have some fondue and Swiss bier!
Cheers to you from ethereal Zermatt~
