Wetlands



Time for a slosh fifteen minutes North, across the largest remaining sand plain wetland in Sydney.

This was within the half day of sun between storms. Didn't have to slosh everywhere because there was a walkway!

The calm between storms is very picturesque. Were the birds making noises or were they resting up?

The birds were very noisy Modroom! Lost family members trying to find each other again :)

Ummm, I'm going to sit here a while, it's beautiful, and thanks for sloshing.

Your beach is overgrown.

HARDWAX said...

The natural is wet sometimes, I accept.

We aren't at the beach any more BoiledEggInADeckchair!

It is Hardwax! Now try to accept fairies :)

Lovely, even a little bridge..how enchanted.

Everything is wet at least now and then. Except fish.

It is Friday and I am just now visiting for the day. So?

Where are the birds? I thought this was all about birds? I come here for the birds!!

btw: Why was Willie Wagtail not on the favorite bird poll? Hmmmm....? Too handsome and might steal all the votes? Hmmmm....?

kj said...

perriette is right: where are the birds? if you can hear them we should see them. unless they are hiding. and if they are, why? where? when?

and how is cookie?

Patience Perriette ... if you keep yelling the birds will stay hidden!

WHAT favourite bird poll, Perriette? Sneaky Jack, he has put a bird poll on MY blog! What next ... a podcast Jack? That answers your question Perriette - Jack is jealous of Willie!

The birds are hiding right now because everyone keeps talking and moving about KJ! I haven't seen Cookie of late but sure he will turn up again soon, just not in the wetland :)

Where are the sand castles?

Sand plains are flat BoiledEggInADeckchair! Sandcastles would make it bumpy.

This beach is daft. I want an ice-cream.

Lovely walk. Were there snakes and turtles? Our wetlands have snakes and turtles, sometimes alligators. I love the walk. We went to a swamp with the same structure, very safe from the creepy crawly animals below but my the vbirds were very noisy. i did not see them either.

Don't you just love the sound of the stillness punctuated by the rustling of leaves and the swaing of branches in the beeze, then the birds, lovely, lovely shade.

I am sorry to hear the birds were looking for lost family memebrs.I feel sad even if I don't know the birds.

Anon, please don't be critical about my typo errors, I cannot see without my glasses and I am trying my best. Thanks.

Yes, blame it on Jack. That will be your excuse for everything now.

Ces Adorio said...

I think Cookie may win. Will you let her blog?

You are welcome to go find a beach with a sandy ice-cream on it BoiledEggOnADeckchair. Better hurry before it melts!

It is Wintertime Ces, the snakes are asleep. I will have to find a mask and snorkle to answer your question about turtles, they usually don't make much noise. Would frogs do? The only way to see the birds is to stop and silently wait. Shhhhh ...

Ooops, have I developed the same habit the rest of the AnonyFamily have adopted? Excuse me, Perriette :)

Cookie isn't around a lot of the time and is above 'blogging'. I wouldn't be surprised if a Super Model won during these days and times, Ces. Cookie is a MALE Super Model!

Ces Adorio said...

Well with a name like Cookie, I thought he was a she. He could have been called Cooka...HAHAHAHA!

Anonymous said...

Once you get to know him, he's more a Cookie than a Cooka Ces :) You laugh like him!

kj said...

how come nobody appreciated my previous "crack up" joke? i know it was alittle risque for me but i felt among friends...

at least i know cookie and jack do, or would, or did...

:)

BoiledEggIn aDeckchair said...

Cracking is very serious.

Anonymous said...

Cookie and Jack aren't "Nobodies" KJ! Hhehhehheeeee ....

*crunch* BoiledEggInADeckchair cracks up enough for everyone else :)

Ces Adorio said...

I wanted to say something about crack but I started cracking up. I wish I laugh like Cookie. I would do it every day to drive the neighbors away, those I don't like.

Anonymous said...

Some of us love Cookie's daily laugh Ces. Even if I can't see him, can hear him! Your horrible neighbours might like his laugh too!

Lavender said...

Wow tough crowd - no pressure to produce bird pics! Well now you know whats expected of you I guess.
Lovely wetlands - great shots! Sorry I was AWOL last few days - will catch up now!
boiledegginadeckchair - somehow I got the impression that you distrusted ice cream...?

Anonymous said...

This crowd has no idea the pain they put me through, Lavender :) Perriette goes awol all the time, yet she complains the most ... if you hang around long enough I'll yell at you too ! Egghead might not like that question hehhehheeee.

Ces Adorio said...

Anon, you may be right about using Cookie's laugh to drive the neighbor's. It may backfire. I should have knoewn never to use the birds.

Anonymous said...

That's right Ces! There is nothing better than to have a bird wake you in the morning instead of an alarm clock! Although, Kookaburras tend to laugh more in the afternoon ... :)

Lavender said...

I can handle yelling lol
Egghead (snicker)!

Anonymous said...

We ARE early birds Lavender ... must be all the noise :)))

Perriette certainly does NOT complain the most! Stop telling lies, Anon. I do not go AWOL, I hibernate.

I'm returning the vomit you left on my blog. HUMPH!

Anonymous said...

HAH! Speak of the NOISY DEVIL! Another complaint?
};-}
Perriette makes up for silence in sleep when AWAKE! I only vomited because of the TOO NICE colours and style for something not so nice ... BLAME ME!?!
Oh dear ... I have a child vomiting in the sink right now ...
