These little guys and many of their friends live along the bank of the lagoon out in front of my house and are constant visitors to my garden. They’re always quiet and well-behaved. They don’t make a mess or scratch around and they’re very cute.
There are so many stages of a sunflower’s growth. Nature forms the most beautiful patterns and structures in something as simple as a single flower.
This is a strange little red flower. I planted some dahlia seeds and some stunted little plants have struggled to survive.
I adore nerines. They were my mum’s favorite flowers and every time I see one I think fondly of her. I planted a few bulbs in my garden and was pleasantly surprised to see this one flower.
For Cee’s Flower of the Day (FOTD) Challenge
This is an interesting flower. I’m not sure whether its distorted because of the heat or if this is it. I’ll watch the other flowers (if it has any).
DUCKS
These are Australian Wood Ducks.
It’s mid-summer and not as many birds seem to be around, so we went off driving looking for a duck to photograph.
Eventually, we found one and some of its mates. It’s interesting that they are not the same type. There are a few wood ducks among the brightly colored lot, Australian Shelducks.
There was even a swan or two floating around. The ducks suddenly looked keen for a swim.
Just put a toe in first.
OK this one’s in a hurry. Watch out below.
So many spikey bits. How do they cope?
