Centenary Lakes, Caboolture.
This is my entry to "MyPictureDay Photography Contest" run by @timsaid and sponsored by @blocktrades and @theycallmedan
A short distance from the centre of the township of Caboolture in Queensland, Australia, lies an impressive water parkland. Situated on the banks of the Caboolture river, this scenic landscape caters for a wide selection of wildlife and birds who thrive in this setting.
The ducks, corellas, purple swamp hens, darter birds and the occasional pelican bring life and activity to Centenary Lakes changing the scene minute by minute, making this an ideal venue for people of all ages to visit.
This was one of the first places I made a bee line for, after the Covid-19 restrictions were lifted recently as it is not far from where I live and I knew, having visited once before of the delights that awaited me. I was not disappointed.
My first image with the tree reflections painted across the gentle rippling surface of the lake spoke volumes about this picturesque place because it is a place to pause and reflect.
And that is what I ask you to do as you take a virtual tour and let nature soothe your soul.
CENTENARY LAKES. A PLACE TO PAUSE AND REFLECT.
THANK YOU FOR VIEWING. HAVE A GREAT DAY.
(The camera I used for these images is a Panasonic DMC-FZ70)

Awesome
Thanks very much @ylike7
Lovely park with so many birds! That black bird with orange tinted wings are just impressive. Would love to have a picnic by the water and take a nap!
The bird life is fantastic there @kaminchan and those big black birds are Australasian Darter birds (Anhinga Novaehollandiae) I love the way they spread their wings out to dry.
Many thanks for visiting and commenting. It is always appreciated.
That bird seems bigger than a dog! Too big to be hold or cuddled!
Yes, I suppose they would be a similar size to a small dog. Interesting observation.

Beautiful park! I enjoyed all the photos, especially the lovely birds!
You would have done justice to these birds with your photography Keith. There is always a great selection of birds at this park. Thanks so much for the re-hive and support.
What a beautiful blue lake and lots of wonderful wildlife those 3 black birds such a funny photo all perfectly in line great capture 👍
Yes I was happy to get those birds all in a row with their wings extended. Thanks for your visit. Always appreciated.
Love lucky shots like that always pleasing and fun to look at.
Have a great day @trudeehunter 😊
So true...…..I scrambled to get my camera focused before the darter birds changed their position. They were very obliging.
Haha i could just imagine you doing that you done well i would hate to be in your target range 😆
