I still don’t know what the box on the pole is. It was put up sometime last year. Maybe it’s for very thin birds.
This is in Lower Hume Park and the daisies will likely be gone the next time they mow the field, but it looks pretty right now.

The ducks and the river
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:
A bench in the sun
Shot a few days ago. Is it a metaphor? Or just a bench in the sun?

I made some enhancements using Luminar AI (but resisted adding giraffes).
Spooky trees in the fog
When I went for a walk today, the sunny sky had given way to fog, creating a spooky kind of atmosphere.

Take your pic (get it?!)

Some prickly leaves as I went for a walk in some extremely light drizzle today.
Post-sunset, Brunette River
As we head into the last weeks of summer, a shot taken of the river about 15 minutes after sunset.
