The day before we flew back to Canada, Miss Twelve and I took the opportunity to take a stroll through Brisbane Botanical Gardens. It would appear I love these gardens almost as this duck loves his time in the pond!
Maybe the fact it was such a grey day explains why he was enjoying the water so much. Who knows but I’ve never seen anything like it before – water was going everywhere. He may have had a beak but I swear I saw him smile!
Coffee fuels my photography! 
Excellent. I love the water droplets around the duck.

Gosh, such a wonderful photo, J. You’ve captured every drop of water. Now I feel like joining them ducks and let the water slide off my back.

Tell me about it Linda – April feels as if it’s been reduced from a month to a week doesn’t it? A bit like this entire year, lol!😆

Wonderful photo Joanne — it is really fun to watch a bird vigorously bathe. And wonderful capture to get the water literally flowing off his back. Called the Pacific Black Duck, closely related to the Mallard.
