duck's arse


Ah Melbourne, where it rains on you even when the sun is shining. And then a duck shows you her arse. Sigh. Still, I hope you are enjoying your new home, Anaglyph.

PORN! I am flagging your blog!!! You will be ostracized just like Sara Sue!

Flag away and be merciless, Malach. I feel it only gave sara sue's blog added cachet to be deemed offensive. So flag away, worthy man.

Ah Melbourne, where my husband will arrive tomorrow, and I won't.

Life sucks. Big time.

I thought it hasn't rained in Melbourne in several months? Is the draught over? I noticed there's a 70% chance of rain on Wed.

hey mybrid. I love Melbourne - I'm there about every month if I can be. It's been dry. You can see in the photo the platform the man is on - it's usually under water so he is standing right on the surface of the pond. In fact, his umbrella is solar powered - so the more the sun shines, the more rain he gets. It's one of my favourite poublic art pieces. I can't speak for the duck,

If Malach reports you and you get *the tag* ... will you move to WP?? I'm curious ... is the statue of someone in particular, or just a representation of a happy Melbourne resident?

Ducks are such indiscriminate little buggers, always showing off their arse to someone.

And those trees look like they would like a little of that umbrella action if they could get it.

sara sue: He's just your regular Melburnian. Here is the front of him and a lovely side view.

phoebe fay: You are tender-hearted towards our green companions. I'll photograph them in January when I am next there, and we can see how they are faring.

Oh, he just ducky dabbling. Ducks dabble. It's what's so charming about them. I once actually donned my boots and strode into an ice-cold spring stream to teach an orphan-gaggle of duckies I had raised to dabble.

I love ducks; how can I not when they go arse-up on such a regular basis?

Cissy Strutt said...

colonel: What a wonderful image.

hereT: What's not to love? And they are delicious!

The sarcasm of that comment will just run off me like water off a duck's arse.

It is supposed to be 37 degrees here tomorrow. And then 19 on Tuesday. At least it's not dull.

As they say - Melbourne: if you don't like the weather, wait fifteen minutes.

Now I know where to come to get my weekly dose of duck porn. It's hard to find these days.
