Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.
The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life. The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River. Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.
Like River I usually run with a theme. This week I got an email (with a photo attached) from a friend in another city telling me that there were some adolescent cygnets on our lake. I loved the fluffy grey charmers and when himself got up we decided to go and look for them.
At our first stop there were Pelicans. Some of these photos make me smile rather a lot.
Doesn't that beak open a looooong way?
We continued to wander around the lake...
I do love these bird sculptures.
Then a dusky moorhen (or swamp chicken).
Then a delightful bridge across a pond.
Then a pied cormorant - sunbaking in the winter sun.
There were plenty of adult black swans, but we didn't see any cygnets. Are we disappointed? No. We spent a very happy couple of hours wandering around in the sun, and it is the perfect excuse to go back again next week.
