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!

Mum and the "babies"

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!

365 Days In Nature - Day 170

I finally had another 'me' day today so I went to my favourite photo-snapping location...the duck pond.

A flock of hundreds of Little Corellas live there.

Every now and then they take off en masse for a whirl around the park then come back to roost in the trees.

They're very loud, but I just love being in the middle of it when it happens!

I had the day off, and I had the car.

So I drove to the duck pond to snap the black swan.

On my way home from the shops today I stopped at the duck pond to take a picture of...

a turtle...or is it a tortoise?
