There was an interesting array of bridges across the various lakes at the Blue Lotus Water Garden. This one led across the longest stretch of water. Red is a colour they use a lot and I found the blue posts an interesting choice combination. And a place to sit and just enjoy the environment.

Water at the botanical gardens
There are several water features at the botanical gardens in Cranbourne and they’re artistic and beautiful to view.
A Tale of Two Pelicans
While at Birdsland Reserve earlier this week I saw, for the first time, two very large Pelicans gliding through the water. Absolutely gorgeous to watch. And then when they got to one section, one hopped up on a dead branch but the other pecked its tail to get it to move. The first jumped down…
More to see at the lake
Here are just a few more images from the lake last week. I’ve got my eye on you! Duck trails Would love to get a close up of this bird. Maybe one day. It’s a Musk Duck. There are two of them currently at the lake. Hope that means some young ones too!
Birdlife on the river
What’s a river if it hasn’t got birdlife? Seagulls (one has lost a foot), Pied Cormorant and a goose that I think was lost. It was honking forlornly on the river and I watched it as it passed under the bridge. I wonder where it came from? It didn’t seem to belong there.
Two views of the jetty
Still at Lysterfield Park on that lovely day.
After the sunset
There was still colour around and activity, boats coming in for the night, people on the jetty, birds still flying in to roost.
Mordialloc Sunset
More of the sun as it was going down – it really only took a short time, probably a minute or two at most for this last lot to happen.
Mordialloc Sunset
More images from the sunset. There were a lot of birds around, it was lovely watching them and they added to the scene.
Mordialloc Sunset
We’ve been getting the most amazing sunsets lately and after a few days I decided I really wanted to get down to a beach to shoot a sunset. After checking the map for nearest beaches and discussion with my husband, I decided to go down to Mordialloc as there is also a marina down there…
Walking on water
This shot amuses me. A small group of ducks took off across the water as I came near to them on the beach. I caught this one as it ran across the top of the water to what it considered to be a safer place to be.
A visit to Lysterfield Lake Park
It was forecast to be very cold with frost and fog on Saturday morning so I knew where I wanted to be, if only I could get out of bed in time. And I did. The next few days’ posts will be about my visit there. Below is the lake with mist over it and…
