Lower Hume Park had several sudden ponds due to the rain over the past day and a bunch of mallards were there to take advantage of it. Better than swimming in the Brunette River, which was very shallow a few days ago and is very not shallow right now, as the photo below indicates.
Proof of ducks (and a crow). This is a crop zoomed in to 93% and the best you’re going to get on a crusty old iPhone 12:
Yeah, I already posted photos. Here’s more! These are scenery shots from today’s walk.
Still cold, but the snow is in retreat now.
Everything about snow is bad, but it does make for pretty scenery shots. Here are a few from today.
But not very much. Here’s a log on the river trail showing the snowfall.
I feel like I have things to say, but I never really know how to say them, so I end up saying nothing. On the plus side, I’ve posted a lot of cats pics, which are the fuel of the internet.
For a change of pace, here’s the Brunette River, from a slightly different vantage point, as the river was quite low and I was able to sneak farther down than usual:
(Slightly altered in Luminar AI, mostly to remove the green runoff pipe and fix the sky a bit [but no giraffes])
Taken at the Brunette River.
I made some enhancements using Luminar AI (but resisted adding giraffes).
It’s the river, in the future year 2025. It looks pretty much the same, though today someone was fishing in it. Or trying to summon a water spirit, perhaps. They were too far away for me to tell for sure.
I didn’t notice the heron until looking at the photo after getting home. They are very good at being very still.
I had enough energy to stroll to the lake and back and present this exclusive portrait gallery of various things and nature.
Like the title says, shot on my iPhone 12.
