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. I found myself distraught and overwrought this week. Largely self-induced, but unpleasant. And the fact that it was self-induced made it worse. Sometimes I am the queen of slow learners.
So, as I usually do, I turned to nature for solace.
And when himself got up we went down to the lake. He has recently invested in a pushbike and headed off along the cycle-paths and I wandered down to the water.
Where I spent a very happy hour.
I smiled at this magpie having a bath - and you will see more of it later.
The damp magpie flew into a nearby tree and did some energetic and acrobatic grooming.
I loved the between the legs view.
It was finally satisfied and started to sing. The magpies warble is a quintessentially Australian sound, and I love it. You can hear a short version here.
