BEAUTY BE

            THANK YOU ALL FOR SUPERB COMMENTS .BEST WISHES FROM WALES 

BEAUTY BE

How can such beauty  be
Nature’s paint box of shades
From the sky rainbow
Washed with golden lights

Hiding under branches
Nature’s paint box of shades
And  soft  grey colours
Washed with silver lights

Only death will end them
Both will die together 
Unable to live alone
Washed with golden  lights

How can such beauty  be
Nature’s paint box of shades
From the sky rainbow
Washed with golden lights

Location -Mallard Pike Lake , Forest Of Dean , Gloucester , England.

Pair of Mandarin Ducks.
The Mandarin Duck was introduced from the Far East, where it can still be found in China, Japan, Korea and parts of Russia.  Mandarin Ducks are actually quite shy birds, often hiding beneath overhanging willows and usually only forming small flocks .They are nervous of other ducks –and are bullied by them .
A beautiful, unmistakable duck, male Mandarins have elaborate plumage with orange plumes on their cheeks, orange 'sails' on their back and pale orange sides. The female of this little duck is dull in comparison, with a grey head, brown back and white eye-stripe.
 Introduced from China and now found  mainly in South East England but also in the rest of England, Wales and Scotland .
