The Duck Pond

I took the kids to the playground near the duck pond this morning. After a quick play, we did one lap of the pond and I came home with lots of photos...as usual. Here are my favourites.

Yes, that's an eel!

Here comes Dad

"Are you looking at me?"

I was excited to see a darter and a pelican together, but the pelican wouldn't pose for me!

We had a lovely lunch at Pelican Waters Resort for Mother's Day today.

Right beside this pond.

Water Lilies

More water lilies from the Cooroy Botanical Gardens.
Why?
Because I love them!

Blue Water Lily

Today we visited the Cooroy Botanical Gardens for the first time.
It's quite run down, I'd say it needs a few more gardeners, but I'd imagine it would cost a fortune for upkeep because it's pretty big!
But there was a heap of great things to photograph so I was in heaven.
I got so many shots that I love, but I'll start with my favourite.
Our local duck pond has waterlilies but they're boring white ones.
I've wanted to snap blue ones for ages...or purple or pink.
There were all of these colours today!

Water Lily

I took this yesterday at the duck pond.
I wish there were some pink ones!
But this one is gorgeous, just the same.
