This weekend was pretty sweet. My other half organised lunch with friends at the local botanical gardens, just for something different.

Although I’m not really much of a plant guy by nature (believe me when I say I kill more plants than I save - I can still hear the screams), it was a great excuse to get the camera out and see what was around.

The botanical gardens have gone through a serious upgrade since we were last there many years ago; a new glasshouse built for lilly pads,water feature, sculpture and new restaurants.

We also came across plenty of the native wildlife; these ducks were everywhere and were absolutely fearless. This one, in particular, was more than happy to sit there and pose while I had a lens around a foot or two away from his noggin for a good few minutes.

More photos from the outing are here. Warning - large quantity of duck lies beyond that link.
