    Lovely Watery Wednesday! Actually we often have watery days all through the week. Our country is very wet.

    It brings to mind Danny Kaye singing, ' . . . and they swam and they swam right over the dam'.
    Hope your little waterhens didn't do that.

    Love the way the ripples work into the reflection. Excellent capture. Everything is looking green.
    Here it's rather gray and rainy, but the aspens are gold.

    We have waterhens here too Arija - although we tend to call them moorhens. They are a lovely bird.

    since we have no moors here it would be a bit pointless to call them moorhens :)

    These are Australian coots? On the Gold Coast, there are lots of it, one even made a nest in my bro's boat.

    In 1950s, they came to New Zealand.
