Fingers of light

Well here is a bit of a quickie for you.

Well, maybe not so quick, there are plenty of photos.

I had a thought last week, that it was about time I did a beach sunrise.

Well, Tuesday last week I managed to get one in.

Finding time to blog about it since then however, has been interesting. I often think my week will look one way and then it turns into something completely different when I get a phone call here and a phone call there, and completely overfilled with work.

We are currently up to day three of pretty solid rain so there is no sunrise and sunset action in these parts. It seems that wet season has arrived ... 6 months late. I am thinking the sugar cane farmers who are ready for harvest would not be happy about this weather at all. It is nice though and would be even nicer if I was home, participating in the regular wet weather behaviour. 

Well, it is time for me to get ready to leave the house for the day. I hope you enjoy this light finger sunrise, lighting up the day.

Enjoy your week!

Where the Mangroves meet the Sea

The other morning, the second one in a row where I needed a jumper, I went for a morning beach walk at Yorkeys Knob. Not long after the sun rose the jumper was abandoned in true fashionable style. You know that lovely, flattering, around the hips or waist tie.

I walked further than I've been along the beach before, in fact, as far as I could go.

To where the mangroves meet the sea.

To where Thomatis Creek and Yorkeys Creek meet the Coral Sea.

 It was a nice walk, hardly a person around.

Except for those in the boats I saw, or the man jogging in speedos and a couple of others.

It was such a still morning, I guess that came with the cold.

Sorry to those down south getting their snow and ice, but in Cairns 10 degrees C is cold, especially when the apparent temperature or what is feels like is around 7 degrees.

Actually, I am kind of envious of those getting to see ice and snow and all things cold.

But that is said from the safety of a mild, tropical winter.

So to those south I'll let you keep looking and dreaming of warmer times.

To everyone else, enjoy looking at the joining of two landscapes, so typical of the north.

No crocodiles this time, well not that I could see.

I wasn't about to look any closer either.

Across the channel was the next beach south, Holloways Beach. It was o close I could have walked or swam there.

I wasn't giving that a go either for obvious reasons.

It was interesting to look around though.

And pretty cool how the mountains and rainforest meet the mangroves and the beach.

See really I am just blabbing on about nothing much now like the trees and reflections and all of that.

So I might just stop doing that, and stop typing so Mr Sparky can keep snoring uninterrupted. 

Then you can just enjoy the rest of my morning wander.

 

 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
