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,,,

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.

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?

She sells seashells.

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.

Headland Forms

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.

Winter

There are definitely days when one thinks there's nothing wrong with spending winter at home.

Another experiment

Still experimenting with that phone. Still a little amazed, but then my last one was pretty much from the clockwork era.

Dune Grass

I am surprised at how many places in the world I have visited where the dune grasses look just like this.

Holland, Belgium, Canada, USA,
