sit and watch the world...

Amazing what you see if only you take time out+ sit+watch the world around you...outside...
I was sitting on my front steps, + a duck flew low, past my driveway+along the street at speed-boat speed...
(Too unexpected+fast for a photo)...
That's one joyous event...more please...

pink-eared duck...

From a black kookaburra to a pink-eared duck...
(And this duck has a very oddly shaped bill? Adding an extra twist of uniqueness?)

tortoiseshell duck?

Is there such a thing as a tortoiseshell duck? This gorgeous little character certainly qualifies... https://t.co/05uP74mtqW
