Dumpers.

When the waves drop vertically like this onto shallow water they are called dumpers,

Anyone who suffers the misfortune of trying to catch a ride on the wrong wave risks breaking a surfboard, gravel rash, or even a broken neck.

The lifesavers need to be particularly vigilant despite most of their charges being barely knee deep.

Bluebottles!

In some countries, "bluebottles" are merely bothersome insects. Here they are a kind of floating jellyfish, with a bubble on one end and long trails of stinging tentacles that follow.

It would be a bit harsh to say our summer was ruined by them, but we couldn't swim for quite a few weeks as easterly winds brought something of an inundation to our shores!

May's theme day - PURPLE

I'm thinking my shot for this theme day isn't exactly a surprise, but faded purple is OK too!

To discover dozens of different interpretations of the theme, why not visit the City Daily Photo Theme Day Gallery?

Accident.

I am not sure why I liked this completely accidental photo of my printer enough to call it "worthy" of this blog... perhaps it's because of its sunny disposition... or it might be the mark of a desperate man!

Dicky Beach

Maroochydore Sunset.

I saw a movie a few years ago, or was it twenty, called "Siam Sunset". The title described a particular colour and the plot turned around a bizarre quest to rediscover it.

I wonder how many people are looking for "Maroochydore Sunset"?

Lighting.

The little LED street standards don't light up much of the boardwalk, but they do make an interesting reflection.

Moffat Beach

Beach Combing.

Sometimes, when we are wandering along the beach late in the day, we find things that are worth keeping.

Overgreen.

I'm back after a lengthy break from social media if not social life, and while I've been busy elsewhere the jungle that is our back yard began to encroach where it shouldn't.

We've had plenty of heat, and despite the monster winds and seas and threats of storms, precious little rain, yet the green engulfs us!

This month's City Daily Photo Theme Day subject is "Green", co-incidentally. If next month's is "lots of gardening" I should be right for that as well.
