country road and a large patch of water...

 


Yesterday, I wandered some nearby streets and, in Gardners Street, across from a camping ground, I found a rather large, attractive patch of water...
I am missing the water of my Mornington Peninsula days in Victoria, so even a patch of water close by appealed to me...even if behind a net fence...



Much to my surprise, I saw a cormorant or two there...
Somehow, I was determined to get some photos, even if my camera rested on a gap in the netting...

Of course, a strange person appearing at the fence unsettled the birds, so off they flew to the far side...

No more photos...at least not of cormorants...


Patiently I tried to identify the 'dots' on the water in the above photo...
I hoped that the young ones barely visible may come closer, but instead, they turned to the far patch of grasses...
Still have no idea what these birds were...
Maybe ducklings, but where was mother duck?


So before leaving, I took a photo of the country road nearby...


And a lone tree...

Loving the peace and stillness of this beautiful country world 

Temora is definitely growing on me...
