HFF, Steve. It will be a while yet before we get any rain, I reckon. The birds will have forgotten how to swim. Have a good weekend, mate.

That's a bridge over water or mud, according to the season. People and fauna have to cope with that. HFF, Steve!

She was not happy with me getting the larger lens closer to the family nor the father they both let me know that. Love the wetter times of the year birds every where.
