The Swan River meanders through the city of Perth on its way to the Indian Ocean.
The river is wide, deep and as blue as the sky, and along the banks there are cafés, boathouses and shops.
This shag was sunning himself on the end of the pier on a brilliant winter’s morning. Was he dreaming of his breakfast, like the birds on the billboard?
Great images, especially the last one. I’m sure he was dreaming of fish. 🙂

Thanks. My husband took this one. I’ll tell him you loved it.
Now I have a new camera I’m hoping to capture more wonderful shots. Most of the photos I use are mine but sometimes he has the best ones.

I don’t have a new camera, but my husband often has the best shots, too! What’s up with that? Statistics don’t support that!

I always make sure I tell him when someone really admires his photos. I’m hoping this new camera will help me to get some great shots. I do have some very nice ones from Tokyo.

Vince loves it when my blogger friends like his pictures. Same with FB. He used to hate FB, but now he really enjoys the exchange of photos and information with people. He shares a lot more of himself than he used to. 🙂

He does look like a bit of a poser doesn’t he. What a fine life!

Wonderful bird.
Here’s something I learned – the reason that cormorants and shags hold their wings open like that is to dry them because they don’t have oil in their wings like ducks do and if they let them get waterlogged, they can’t rise out of the water after a dive.

Interesting fact! So he wasn’t thinking about all the fish after all.

I think he had a fishy gleam in his eye.
