12 Storks and 3 Dogs

Circling over my head (only the storks and if you like to count: one is hiding - it was difficult getting them all on one photo). Taken from my livingroom window.

Today felt more like April than August. But it never rained long - not like yesterday, when it didn't stop for hours.

There was enough time to go for a cycle and I didn't get wet. But all the sudden jumped on by 3 unleashed muddy dogs while sitting on a bench, which caused an unpleasent argument between me and the lady who was taking the dogs out. Is it too much to ask for an excuse instead of completely ignoring someone who is trying to get all the mudd of her clothes?
The dogs, 3 rather friendly but unbehaving border collies, and the mudd were not the problem to me, but her behavior. And there are many people out there afraid of dogs.
