Ducks, upended

Keen foraging, or synchronised swimming?

Posted for Becky’s SquareUp challenge. I’ve gone with “playing around with the word up”.

(Also sneaking this one is for Birds with butts in the air)

Random Fridays: Mother duck and ducklings

This mother duck and her ducklings were photographed in Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne. (Dad was there too, but he’s off to the left of the photo.)

Watery reflections in black and white

Cee’s Black & White Challenge this week is Reflections and Shadows. I have a trio of watery reflections to offer, all taken recently at The Bryon at Byron Bay, a resort set on 45 acres of rainforest and lily ponds about 750km north of Sydney.

 

The water in the pond is so still, this looks like a mirror image.

The lines of the dead tree provide a solid reference point among the quavering reflections of trees.

The busy grooming activity of this little duck cast concentric ripples onto the still reflection of the trees.
