Theme Day ~ Photo of the Year

 
Above: Bird on a Rock
Photo taken mid morning at Queen's Park lake.

A bit of trivia
Early travellers heading for the goldfields met here because fresh water was available in the lagoon. Burke and Wills camped here on their fateful journey to cross Australia.


Today's quote: No matter how high a bird flies, it has to come down for water ~ Old American
proverb.

I like that. The bird stands out well among its surroundings.

The white of the bird is quite stark against those subdued watery reflections. Beautiful.
