Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand
Wow Ky, this is just serenity indeed. I love the title (I had a 'serenity' early on in my AM3 time and that also involved greens and water). Back to you though....how did you get those 2 white ducks to pose so perfectly lol! I think the framing and composition is superb. Loving the reflections in the lake. The line of trees in the distance look like they're standing proud lining the way to this serene place:-) Lovely my friend!

@dj.tigersprout: Thanks so much DJ, you are very kind, your words blow me away. This is RICHMOND NSW would you believe, just round the corner from my home, I do the "walk of life" past this gorgeous place, the geese were being very cooperative that day, I had to pay them though LOL! Thanks for stopping by!
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Such a beautiful soothing spot, Kylie. I like the gentle colors and reflections.

@Michael Skorulski: It truly is an amazing place, it's funny you know, when I was a little girl my Dad used to take us for a drive out this way, it seemed so far, I remember the poplar trees most, I remember looking out the window of the car thinking "one day when I grow up I want to live in a place like this"... and now I live there, it is beatuiful and I am very blessed. Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments Michael!

Very beautiful reverberation in this water. A very pleasant corner, for a picnic with a red good wine. Also a place for a good nap. Splendid tone Kylie country….Siam
