At last, a wet land next to my housing estate has been designated a park.
It used to be a lake but with poor maintenance and God-given sunny weather, the lake was consumed by the invasive water hyacinth plants. These plants can take over any area with water and turn it into a wetland faster than Speedy Gonzales. The entrance is lined with date trees like soldiers on a parade,
and amazingly the security system is GEESE patrol.
The painted storks have formed a colony here.
So have the little herons, like this one hiding in the tree.
Life must be just as challenging too for herons as they ponder on a fence. Here's three (arrowed) musing about life.
And as always, man will leave his mark.
A big, big sigh at the mark of man.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Elephant's Child.
ReplyDeleteYour picture style is cool!!
Good, they decided to preserve the wetland and its various species in the transformation of a park! Interesting perspective of the place in photos.
ReplyDeleteHahahahah geese always the best security patrol in the world 🤣🤣🤣. I remember, once being chased by them, and I was frightened to death 🤣. It was like a horror. As terrible as being chased by stray dog 😅
