HFF, Steve. It will be a while yet before we get any rain, I reckon. The birds will have forgotten how to swim. Have a good weekend, mate.

That's a bridge over water or mud, according to the season. People and fauna have to cope with that. HFF, Steve!

She was not happy with me getting the larger lens closer to the family nor the father they both let me know that. Love the wetter times of the year birds every where.

We get a lot of low lying water over winter but most gets evaporated away in summer exposing the mud only birds can walk on, HFF you take care and enjoy your weekend.

I'm afraid that the climate there suggests you probably won't see much rain for a while yet, STeve. Let's hope the heat eases soon! HFF and have a great weekend..
