Quacker Saga

I choose several cliff top properties close to home, as my gardening clients.
One; during our torrential deluging endless rain year - slipped away. Sea foliage entangled hedge intermingled with quintessential pohutukawa sentinels fell.  Leaving an almost infinity pool.  A few months after owners 
moved, new ones moved in.


                               empty house with pool

                         duck tenants enjoy sea views

                               full circle of life


     My next gardening visit, I had a good chuckle.  There was a whole pool party of ducks in progress!  Brought to mind our Real Estate agents adage:
     Location - location - location!!!


                          location so fine

                   word spreads flock comes to appraise

                         this nest surely best



     After seeing another post on our neighbourly website was determined to capture my own photo of quacker saga.  To my amusement, didn't find the pool party in progress, only 3 quackers standing on edge of pool facing the sea.  Making duckerly comments.


                          chill grey sky and sea

                      only one invited today

                         not party weather
