One more throw.

Just one more, then we have to go home.

As the sun slowly sinks in the west.

I might have left my walk a little late yesterday, but it's not unpleasant in the cool of the evening.

In truth we rarely sit there, but we do get jealous of anyone else who might be possessing that patch of grass under the pandanus. We claimed ownership of it years ago, but in the absence of any title deed or signs to the contrary, others think they can share it.

The light under the road at Tooway Creek suffers terribly from just being where it is. Salt and aluminium make no better combination than salt and electricity and when they combine in a dark damp environment where people seek privacy for all sorts of illicit goings-on, nothing stands a chance.

Plant Identification 101

It's such a common beachside plant round here and for the life of me I can't think of it's name. My plant ID app says it's a rose, but I can assure everyone it's not.

Rest assured, full details will appear miraculously in the comments of this blog within hours of it being published.

Dicky Beach.

Might get a spot of rain soon.

Settling in for a whole summer of it apparently.

Dicky Beach.

Everyone gets a view.

For now, everyone gets a view, and I like the way the buildings at the back seem to be standing on tippy toes to look over the ones at the front. When the house goes though, and one day it will, all that will change.

The Office 2

When working from home just doesn't cut it.

The Office 1

It's a hard life, but someone has to keep the wheels of commerce turning.

Moffat Beach.

With a chance of a shower.

As it turns out, there was no chance of rain at all.

Shelly Beach.

Outfall

It's called a creek, but really these days it's just the water runoff from the 'burbs. Another reason to be super careful with our waste materials.

Under the Norfolks

Norfolk Pines,

Shelly Beach,

One fine day.

Ta

It's been a while, and I've really enjoyed the break.

I can't say at the moment if I'm back or not because one of the things I learnt to do very well over the last two years is to be unreliable, and it's delicious!

Never the less, if I was going to sticker bomb a rubbish bin, what better way than to say "thank-you" in the most economical way possible?

Moffat Beach.

A Sign of the Times?

Well no, actually, I haven't a clue what it says, nor am I going to find out.

Perhaps it's a warning of all the dangerous creatures and activities that could put one at risk if they come ashore, a bit like the ones that warn us before we enter the water.

Ships Passing

And soon it will be night.

2020 Hindsight.

I posted a version of this photograph on my other blog in March. At that point we were all staring out to sea, scanning the horizon for a sign that "the pandemic" was rolling inexorably toward us.

Fortunately, the view from Moffat Beach is pretty much directly towards New Zealand, and unlike the rest of the world, we have thus far been spared that particular tsunami.

But the cracks are appearing.

Yes, it is.

Sunshine Coast Life under Covid 19

This is not a gloating photo, rather it's an expression of gratitude that we live in one of the safest places in one of the safest countries on the globe.

We have had the good fortune (and credit to the Government for its good management as well) to have experienced almost no community transmission.

However, life is not normal. Bars are open with strict regulations (no dancing for instance) and we can visit in groups of up to thirty (socially distanced) people.

The sky is blue and spring temperatures are still down in the mid twenties, so it's a bit cool for the beach, not that this lot understands that!

Skywatch!

It's been a decade at least since I last participated in Skywatch Friday. The sky around here is so well sky-like of late that it's a bit hard not to share.
