Abundance

The crinum lilies are doing brilliantly this year:
At least five flower spikes either open or about to.

This family of Australian wood ducks (Chenonetta jubata) crossed the road in front of us:
They seemed to have have a huge number of ducklings. After a close look at the photos I was able to get, there seem to be eight young ones. That's dad at the front, and almost at the back is mum, who is only a little larger than her babies. They seem to have done a good job of parenting, having raised eight ducklings to this size.

The lilies are lovely in the walled garden, a medieval painting in the making.
