Down at the Knob


So after my Aunt and Uncle boarded the cat back to the ship I hung around a little, so I could get a pic of both boats. I put one of at the end of the last post. I also happened to get sidetracked by some colourful fellows playing around in the trees.






I then stopped back in at the main beach at Yorkey's Knob, mainly because I needed to use the public loos there. I was busting. Then as usual I got sidetracked, this time by the nice afternoon light.


Oh, then that was when I spotted the para surfers/ kite surfers.


What an idyllic afternoon beach scene they made. It just looked so perfect.


I had never expected to see them but a fella standing nearby said that this is apparently one of the best spots for it.




Unfortunately I had to head home to get ready for work but I could have easily wiled away the rest of my afternoon watching and relaxing.

    1. Thanks. There is something relaxing about watching the kite surfers, usually in the evening, and oh to have an ounce of balance.

  3. What a colorful bird! Rainbow is certainly an appropriate name. Love the blue head.

    1. It is very colourful but even though they are colourful they can be tricky to spot in trees.

    1. I know, they look like an artist couldn't decide what colour so went with them all. I love sharing them too, so unbelievable.
