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?

Moffat Beach.

Crossing the bridge.

Shadows of a handrail, late afternoon.

Moffat Beach

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.

After Sunset

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!

In the bush.

I've often tried to capture this little patch of bushland on the path to Moffat Beach. Today was the day it sort of worked for me...

That first sunset.

After an extended absence, that first sunset over Tooway Creek.....

Ever Changing.

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.

POST SCRIPT:

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.

Thank you for your understanding. Hopefully we'll resume full transmission some time in November in the meantime feel free to keep up with our travels on our other daily blog, Fading Memories.

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.

Top of the hill, late afternoon.

Well no, actually it's still early morning - the shadow on the western side of the trees is a dead giveaway. My bad,,,

Wish I was there!

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!

Wiggly lines

I wonder what the surfing term for a wiggly line of waves is?

Whatever it is, it's swell! 😂

Buying a consonant.

Senseless destruction. We need an MoffATeEr'S LooKouT.

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.

Rocks and Waves

Nothing to see here folks - move along. ....or stay a while and just watch if you like.

Sunrise on a Headland

A nice place to sit and not think.

Sunrise under bridge.

This photograph is notable only for the fact that I was there when the sun was barely above the horizon. I wonder why I couldn't sleep that day?

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?
