Nature making art No. 5



In my world, it is often Nature, rather than Man, that makes the most beautiful art.

The other day, it seemed to me that this bright-eyed mallard, a resident of Cannobio's Porto Nuovo, couldn't resist stirring up the colours of the water and the reflected boat that so closely mirror his own plumage.

What a fabulous picture. I love the way it looks as if he's creating the bright green behind him as he swims through the water - spreading ducky happiness!

You are so correct, Louise. There is no better art than what I call "God's paintbrush" and this is a perfect example. What an amazing photo!

I can't thank you enough for taking the time to wish my grandmother a happy birthday. Thank you, thank you, thank you - all the way from Italy? She loved it...
