I love a duck

April 18, 2021

Thanks Audrey for this comment. The top two ducks are Australian Grey Teal, below is a Pacific Black Duck. I hope they won’t get blown away- soon to be fair game: Duck Season open – 8am on Wednesday 26 May 2021-Season close – 30 minutes after sunset on Monday 14 June 2021. Daily bag limit of five game ducks per day for the entire season.

I too, hope they survive.

Cute Koala

My last Koala picture. This time I found one awake and looking interested in me! He was very happy to pose for me and a collection of other passer-bys who looked up in the direction of my lens.

Took this picture of a koala in Warrnambool. He was hiding in a gum tree eating leaves.

Lantana

April 9, 2021

I love the smell of Lantana. I also love the flowers. In Australia it’s widely regarded as a nasty invasive weed. No wonder. Mine has just exploded with growth. It’s huge. I have only one plant and it hasn’t spread to anywhere nearby. I Prune it savagely to keep it under control. It’s well away from livestock. Apparently its poisonous. How can something so beautiful, have so many negative aspects?
