building a nest on water

guslSpring has sprung, which means the temperature is uncomfortably variable, and I still haven't bought detachable pants.
I decided to take a walk around my block clockwise in order to check out the green and the flowers. Since my street borders a canal, this means it's a rather long walk (more than 1km). I had the pleasure of observing these pigeon-like birds building a nest on water. One bird (probably the male) was going around picking up sticks and giving them to a bigger bird sitting on the nest (probably the female). I think this is only possible because the nest is situated between a boat and some sort of navigational structure which blocks most of the waves.
Further down this circuit, I went inside this colorful modern art exhibition, where you could buy snacks & drinks as you hang out and admire the art (well, not BUY, actually you drink it in exchange for a pre-specified donation).
It's sunny and warm, and people are happy. I should avoid getting too happy, as is my tendency, in order to avoid wild swings.
