A native of the East Indies, this unusual, flightless duck has been exported to many countries to be bred for its eggs and meat. I encountered my first flock in Canada running like penguins (where they get their nickname) across a farmer's pen. This female is one of several released in a public park where they are thriving and breeding. With their comical personalities, and if I weren't into dogs, I'd have a bunch of these as pets.

The trouble with not having a particular photographic style or theme to follow is rather making my stream look like a car wreck at the moment. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing but it's all part of your development as a photographer I keep telling myself. This is a deliberate attempt at Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) with a little bit of zoom twist (I think).

No prizes for guessing the runner... we both used to do a bit of running, but since I joined Flickr that activity has well and truly gone out of the window along with my waistline!

Something has got to give and my monies on the belt!

I was down the bank looking upwards to get this angle, best I could do with the sunburst even then I had a bit to do in PS! but love the efects though!

Luna running between Chris and myself, on Taylor Park Hill. Can't seem to tire her out. She is really doing well off the lead.
