White in the Wetlands

8/23/2019

We don’t normally have white winters where I live in Australia, although snow has been part of our forecast this year. Still, I searched the nearby wetlands in this last bit of winter to see what white I could find.

No snow on the landscape, but clouds and trees and a ghostly moon contributed some winter white.

Birds provided some fleeting white splashes.
Birds on the water
Magpie
Straw-necked ibis
Red wattlebird
Cormorant
The rump of a purple swamp hen
Note the nose and tail feathers for a bit of white on this black swan
White-plumed honeyeater
Birds and reflections
​And humans have made their own additions.
Rocks to shore up a path
Entrance to the wetlands
Walkway
​While my home in Australia may not have the snowy seasons of my childhood, I can still find lots of winter white if I look.

These photos are amazing, I still cannot believe you get such great shots of the birds in the wild with a phone camera (smile).

Thanks, Diane. I keep thinking I should upgrade to a real camera, but I love the convenience of the phone. Thanks as always for reading and commenting!
