A Photo Every Day from the Sunshine Coast - Australia

Oh what a tangled web...

Mind you it wasn't quite as shambolic until I walked into it.

I can jump puddles

The rain is slowly clearing now, which is a shame really, because I've really developed a liking for the weird reflections that turn up under my car if I looks hard enough.

Well what's the collective noun for garbage bins then?

Perhaps a "surfeit"?  The six in this photo have at least another six within a similar radius.  Must be the most litter-free park in all of Buddina.

What's the collective noun for masts?

Could it be a "Muddle of Masts" perhaps?  Why is it that if these were electricity poles or telecommunications towers they'd be considered a blight, but because they are connected to boats they are romantic and scenic and photo-worthy?

Carpark puddle

There is a shortage of dry land at the moment.

Running from the rain.


One hundred and seventy mm today, another hundred expected overnight.  Everything is greening up nicely, including the webs between my toes.   Most sensible people were tucked up in their offices or watching a movie, so I got to enjoy the lull with barely any company on the road.

Before the rains came


50mm today and another 100 tonight.  Is there any wonder I am using a photo from a few days ago?

Same stuff, different day.


This is fast becoming one of those "a view every day from the same place" kind of blogs.

Recent storm surf has left the air thick with... well thicketivity really.

That time of day.


I seem to be making something of a habit of not getting out until it's too late to take photographs.

The last dot of sunshine


It's not hard to see where one should sit should one wish to get the last of the sun for the day.

The end of the chase.


I have no problem eating animals, and I've caught lots of fish in my lifetime and no doubt will catch a few more,  but I admit to being a little squeamish at the concept of catching them for sport.  

On the one hand this little (bigger than he looks and of legal "keeping" size) guy was released and sent safely on his way no doubt with adrenalin pumping through his system.   On the other, is there any other animal which society would tolerate having a hook thrust into its body and dragged to the point of exhaustion without raising a hue and cry?

Oh, there's bullfighting!

The Struggle


I don't know whether I feel more sorry for the fish, or for the fisherman's mate trying to keep his balance shin-deep in the mud.   He lost one of his brand new thongs down there somewhere.

The fish?  Stay tuned.

Selfish


I'm posting this photo I took during the holidays a few weeks ago, to remind those who are back at work in the midst of the current heatwave, just what a good time it was.

Although perhaps I shouldn't encourage them to return, it's much nicer when they are at home and the beach is just for me.

Leading Horses to Water


What planners don't get, is that people just don't like using their shiny bike racks.

Temporary Art.


They've gone now until next year of course, but I did wonder if there was deliberate irony at work in the choice of Christmas symbol among the Norfolks.

Coffee Shop, downtown.

While the world watches something called "The Winter Olympics", we wonder why everyone there appears to be wearing long pants as we queue for our super-chilled cold pressed coffee, wearing as little as possible consistent with being decent enough for downtown temperatures.

Yes I know I'm a bit late...


There's a wall above Kings Beach which commemorates those whose remains have been scattered at sea by the volunteer Coast Guard.   Why should they miss out on the festive season?

Signing for the sensory deprived.


I'm not sure why the yellow lines, the edge of the bitumen, and the gate do not suggest that perhaps there is nowhere further to go in one's car, but if you are the sort of person who can't take a hint..... you can always read the sign.

I checked, and sadly the back of the sign does not declare "beginning of road" for those coming the other way.  We just have to work that one out for ourselves.

I don't like spiders and snakes


.. and that ain't what it takes to love me.....

A little (not much more than a metre long) carpet python paying a visit to our neighbour's yard.

So there!  Welcome to the land of spiders, snakes, crocodiles and sharks!

The crowd under cloud.




We're never satisfied.

It's raining and blustery at the moment and we don't like it.  Last week it was thirty degrees and humid and even under cloud cover the UV index was at a dangerous 14 plus.  We didn't like that either, but that didn't stop the last of the holiday crowds from enjoying the balmy twenty-seven degree water.

It is important to note though that even if it doesn't meet our exacting standards we are quite happy to accept whatever weather is dished up on any given day!

If I had a drone....


If I had a drone I wouldn't be have to climb to the top of the headland to take photos like this.

Blue Moon


It was rather nice while it lasted, but just a few minutes later and the Super/Blue moon of last night had gone to bed beneath that cloud.
