Picnic at the dam

posted by Paul

In the words of Bono, “It’s a beautiful day.” Today’s weather was warm and the skies were blue with streaks of (what I believe to be) cirrus uncinus clouds painted across the sky (unfortunately not seen in this photo).

Sonstraal Dam is substantially larger than what can be seen here - but is, as you can see, home to many ducks and geese. If you look carefully, you'll see our family sitting way back under one of the trees, enjoying a picnic lunch!

Definitely a good picnic spot beneath an azure sky. These birds have it made!
