Penny and I had a lovely walk today, and it seemed she wasn't limping. Hooray! We went to a favorite place, Yarra Bend park. As I glanced across the Merri Creek to the parklands on the opposite bank, I was struck by the outline of a huge bird on the hillside. I knew it was there, but I've never seen it so beautifully outlined with the shadows cast by the setting sun.
Seeing Penny seemed to be coping well with a longer walk, we headed off to have a close look at it. When we got there, it no longer looked like a bird. It just seemed to be a little pebbled path in the hillside.
I wonder who made the bird, and why. It's obviously maintained well, because the grass hasn't been allowed to invade the gravel lines. A thing of beauty and mystery.

Love ya lots,

intriguing... natural phenomenon or sacred site perhaps?
what a lovely area for a walk with the beautiful penny...
proud womon, it was made by humans, I feel sure, but I can't find any information about it, so far.
Mitch, we know we are lucky to have a choice of lovely places to walk.
Someone made an effort to make an interesting landscape.
Slavenka, you are right! It would have been quite an effort to make and maintain the bird shape.
