I had a moment before I headed back down the highway for another class; the last class in this current module. It is interesting to be doing another postgraduate degree in the present university climate. Always interesting to see how different generations of students, exposed to different education cultures, approach postgraduate education now. We've sold out our educational culture really...I'm glad I did my undergraduate study when I did.
Anyway, I knew I'd be unlikely to get pics later in the day. I was leaving a bit later than planned which would mean arriving just in time for class. Lucky for us, dear reader, our friendly egret proffered a pose for us at the lake by the car park, just as I was leaving. What else was I to do then?

| People you know? |

| I'm out of here... |

| Really...(near the tip of the wing) |
I think there is, in the background, one of these...

Meanwhile, 30 pics and 10 minutes later, it was time for me to make haste too. So I did.
