UNDERWOOD PARK LAGOON

 So the weather has cooled down and the rain has stopped. Just perfect for a walk around the lagoon.

The ducks are resting on the tree.

Bill managed without a stick or wheelie walker.

Lots of water dragons on the path around the lagoon.


Duck nap time and one cormorant.

Then home for dinner. Vienna sausages with sauerkraut, potatoes, carrots and beans. (We only cook easy meals these days)

Washing down lunch with Chianti.

Evening visitor in our street.

  1. The water dragon looks quite adorable, not ugly as you might normally think.

  3. Hello Diane,
    Wonderful photos from your walk around the lagoon. I love the ducks and water dragon and the cool evening visitor is cute. Did you try to leave a critter link, it is not working. Take care and have a great weekend.

  4. Diane, it’s always nice to get out and see what’s going on in nature and also great to see that Bill managed without supportive devices. Easy dinners are our favorite too, although we also make harder ones and sine is always good with a meal🍷Cheers

  5. I'd love to walk around and see water dragons, not that they do much.
    Your dinner looks simple, and also nice.
    Your evening visitor is most interesting, clearly on its way to an important event.

  10. It's so nice to take a walk on a coolish day and Bill is certainly doing very well without a cane or walker. I was taking a good look at your header and it struck me how very large Brisbane is with all it's skyscrapers. I really don't remember it having so many highrises when I travelled there but then again that was decades ago. Have a wonderful Easter weekend.

  12. Bill looks real good after all the miseries ! Unfortunately we have no mini dragons here, but in Italy yes, they are cute ! I am jealous that you have a Kangaroo hopping around, I wished we had that in our park too, but there are only a fox and the castle cats, squirrels too.

  13. We eat more easy meals now too. We cook big meals sometimes and freeze portions for later. You sure saw a lot of critters on your walk!

  17. Loved these pictures of your walk.
    I have never seen a water dragon before--or even heard of one. What an interesting looking creature. And what fun to see a kangaroo hopping down your street.
