It's just that at every stage of flowering, different birds appear.

Can't see the bottom.


Tooway Creek is not very deep, but sometimes it's bottomless none the less.

Why no sunrise photos?


I have been asked why I never seem to take photos at sunrise.  I am not sure what other people are doing at 4:30 in the morning, but I am not taking photographs!

Almost sunset.

Puzzle


Just one post, rounded at the top and completely green with algae.  Why aren't they all like this?

Bottle Brush


The Calistamon flower is more commonly known as the Bottle Brush, for obvious reasons and there are plenty of bottle brushes round these parts.

Golden Cane


The Golden Cane Palm is a native to Madagascar, and there's enough of it round here to make any Madagascan feel quite at home.    It's almost as ubiquitous as the rubber thong.

Purple Pea


There is just one question to be asked:  Is this a "nice" dune pea, or a "nasty" one, and invader from across the seas intent on the destruction of all that lies beneath it, or a native happily preserving the status of the dunes for future generations?

Going...


Stripped of its asbestos cladding, the skeleton of what once was a family home sits on death row.  Tomorrow a digger will come and it will be painlessly taken from this world.

Several, Not Fifty Shades of Grey.


There's a disturbing trend in our street, which is seeing the world return to the days before colour film was invented.  Thankfully the inhabitants are not so beige.

Shipping News


Barely back from a world of checking what lurks over that horizon, as the jetlag finally begins to subside with it comes that whiff of wistfulness as we gaze out to sea, hoping it'll all be waiting for us when we get back!

It has a. name, this little creek at Dicky Beach, and I can't think of it to save myself!   It doesn't appear on any of the internet maps which makes me think it was bestowed in recent times.

Having bitten off more than I could chew in the early part of this year, I was unable to produce the catalogue which enables me to post daily on this blog while on our annual migration to the other side of the world.

I did manage to gather a scattering of photos over the last few weeks of my stay this year so sadly will now make this a weekly blog until our return from places other than this one.

Wave Form


It's a pet peeve of mine, buildings that try to look like waves.   But from this angle, at this time of day, I'm not peeved at all.

There's nothing like it, but with my abilities or lack thereof,  if I was the only other surfer out, I'd accidentally drop in on him and ruin his wave!

Whatever it is, it's swell! 😂

I hope their Mum's are very proud of them.... maybe she's even gone all crafty and made fridge magnets from her idiot children's handiwork.  At least if she has, someone is benefitting from the thought.

Tip Turkey


The poor old white ibis is much maligned - it's hard to believe that it's not got something to do with it's general lack of attractiveness.   There's no doubt the species does breed well when there's ample food (but which species doesn't?).   But really, does it really deserve  monikers like "Bin Bird", "Dumpster Diver", Flying Rat.... and I could go on?

PIneapple? Nope!


A week out of sequence, but here we see the fruit of the pandanus.  On the left the hard green bit impersonating a pineapple, on the right the ripe orange one, with fruit segments already fallen.    For a peek at what those bits look like, go back one week! (perhaps that's only one post?)

Nuts!


Technically these are the fruit of the pandanus, not the nuts but they are the size of a child's fist, hard, and heavy and they give a fair old bonk if they hit you on the head.

SUP


Once upon a time "SUP" was a contraction for the greeting "What's up?"  Now of course it's "Stand Up Paddleboard".   A year or two ago, some visiting friends from Europe were astonished to see them being ridden in the surf - we on the other hand were astonished that anyone would contemplate using them in still water!

Winter.


This photograph was actually taken in May, which technically is in Autumn, and the giveaway is that there is just a touch too much cloud about, but it's still quite reminiscent of a winter's day at Moffat Headland.

Curving the balcony face is not something that's difficult to do in construction terms, but it does make a huge difference to the street.   Imagine if these buildings were all big square boxes lined in one plane....

Pointless destruction


Our Council has an interesting dynamic.  The planners plan, and someone pays vast sums of money for designers to design, and landscapers to landscape.   Then, the maintenance guys come along, and don't like maintaining anything that can't be trimmed with a mower, so out it all comes and off to the tip.

This, at the end of our street was once a nice hedge of native grasses less than a metre high.  Perhaps it will be lawn by the time I get back.
