This morning I got up fairly early and went for a slow meander along the beach, pondering life. I only took my cell phone with me for photos (I may have mentioned in a previous post that I have severe tendonitis in both hands, making it impossible to use my DSLR — I just don’t have the manual dexterity to be able to hold it nor change settings. Even carrying a tripod is not feasible right now).
It’s winter here, but the temp was warm enough for me to be in shorts and a shirt without a sweater. We don’t get that cold here on the island anyway, but it’s certainly not normal to be having the temperatures we are right now. Probably should get used to it, given global warming. I live on a small island off the Queensland mainland — Bribie Island. It used to be a sleepy place with a lot of beachy types of people. Some of them are still here, but also there are young families and retirees. Sadly, with an increase in population, comes big city issues, such as littering and angry drivers. The latter seems to be more exemplified by young men in 4WDs (SUVs) who love to tailgate. One day they’ll learn to slow down (hopefully).
I live on the surf side of the island – in fact, I just walk across the street, over the sand dunes and there is the beach. On the other side of the island it is protected waterways. Both have their own beauty. The surf is supposed to pick up in intensity the next few days and a number of beaches south of here were closed today.
This photo I took on the walk this morning. Not many others there at the time, probably having a sleep in on a Sunday morning.
Enough for now — I’m pleased with myself for doing a post. More to come.
Cheers from Australia!
