Today the sun was shining, the sky was blue, spring was well and truly sprung, so we all went to Cecil Hills for a picnic lunch. We forget that this park exists, for months at a time, but it's really very nice and very close to home. The lakes look muddy and a bit greasy if you look too closely - but they're full of birds and the water changes with the light.
Paul took this picture of ducks by himself. I like the colours! We tried to feed the birds bread, but they were either too full or expect better, because they fled loudly across the water when we tried. Today was the first time that we've spotted a giant orange koi in the water. At least, we think that's what the shadowy shape was.....
Simon took the photo of Dinosaur Island. We don't know if it has a real name but it seems very mysterious simply because we can't get to it, and there's so much vegetation that we can't see what's there. Maybe if we lived in one of the houses around the lake we could have a canoe and go sailing there at sunset with a picnic hamper and a bottle of wine.
