POTD 6/5/07

This is a little guy that hangs out near my office.. I am sitting on a hill on the edge of the Old Melbourne Cemetery. This is the closest I could get a picture of him without falling into the canal below me.. He was sitting there yesterday but I did not have my camera. I brought my camera today and at lunch I passed him but the light was way too bright and I was late getting back from work. The water surrounding him was a gift from Tropical Storm Barry. He dropped over 5 inches of rain on the rain deprived area. I was hoping to catch a picture with his wings spread wide but of course he is camera shy.

These cattails are sitting just below me.. See water and this has fish and probably alligators in it.. I would be a great fluffy dinner..
