These images were captured in wetlands some 10 minutes from my home . . . .
Aww - we're shy!
... hard to believe that two significant highways intersect near the left hand edge of this shot above!

.. and here is a close-up of what I prefer to call "poor man's daffodils" (yes, quirky I know!), but which many consider a pest - they are Soursob weeds. Still, they do add a lovely splash of colour to the surroundings.

It looks lovely and peaceful (despite the proximity of the roads).
ReplyDeleteYour poor man's daffodils are lovely! I guess some plants are so common they get thought of as weeds. The cormorant looks quite different from the cormorants we have here.
ReplyDeleteLadyFi and EG Camera Girl: many thanks for visiting my blog. EGCG: As far as I can tell, it is a Pied Cormorant. There are also Black-faced, Little Pied, Little Black and Great members of the Cormorant species in Australia.
ReplyDeleteYou shared some real pretty photos with us, thank you :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Looks like a lovely place to walk, and I love the yellow flowers, whatever name they attach to them.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures - shame that the Poor Mans Daffodils are not a native, then people would love them!
