Ducks and Swan at Garden of Chinese Friendship in Sydney for Saturday Critter

 


The serene Garden of Friendship in Sydney, with its tranquil ponds and winding stone pathways, is graced as always by the presence of elegant swans and cheerful ducks. The swans glide effortlessly across the still water; their long necks curved like calligraphy strokes against the reflections of willows and ornate pavilions. Meanwhile, the ducks paddle playfully in small groups, occasionally waddling ashore to forage between the rocks and bonsai-like shrubs. Their familiar presence brings a sense of continuity to the garden, a living thread through the carefully composed harmony of this urban oasis inspired by classical Chinese landscapes.

  17. Una bonita imagen de ese cisne que parece custodia a esos patos a los que aquĂ­ llamamos azulones por el plumaje de los machos, pero su nombre es "ĂĄnade real".

    Saludos.
