Relaxing Sunday

Hello all
I am having a lovely relaxing Sunday.
I have been out early for a bike ride. We have a lovely lake and wetland area with a 3.5 km walking/cycle track around it. It is an absolute mecca for birdlife, and is a very popular spot for walkers, cyclists, birdwatchers, fisherman, and small boats. The weather was calm and sunny and there were quite a few people out and about, including many dog walkers. Everyone is so friendly, greeting each other with a "good morning" as they pass by.
There were lots of black swans and ducks on the lake and plenty of noise from various parrots in the trees overhead. I will have to identify the many different kinds of birds for those of you who may be interested, and I will take my camera and get some shots to put up.
The children are catered for as well, with a pretty playground at one end of the lake, and a small rock climbing wall and other activities at the other end. The botanical gardens are adjacent to the south side of the lake with many picnic and barbecue areas to enjoy.
All this is only a short walk to the main shopping centre in the town, yet once off the main road, it is quiet and serene.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone. I plan to.
