QNR lake

I think it looks better like this. If those trees were full of leaves you'd hardly see the water.

True. I wish it were a less grey moment, though. It's right in the middle of Brum, in the shadow of the motorway and Asda! Swans live there, too.

There's beauty everywhere, even in big city centres !

I used to know this place when it was a quarry. There were swans there then too, and Teal, Pochard, Tufted Ducks, Mallard, Shoveller, Little Ringed Plovers, Kingfisher, Lapwings, and many many other bird species.
I left Brum in 1974 and came to Australia where i still live

and what species do you find yourself surrounded by now, Monet?
