Looks like Mother Nature used all the colours ...hues...shades...tints...everything in her palette.

Thanks for the nice comments!
Caleb: they are native to Asia. I am sure you will eventually see some in a lake because people raises them as ornamental and -at least here- they end up escaping and living in the wild too. What I would like to see is the couple with babies. I still did not see their babies and they must also be really cute :-)
