Meandering A Sub-Tropical Beach
Heat is up, beaches become busy with holiday makers streaming to the coast to find reprieve in the Indian Ocean waters, not too cold but cool enough to enjoy most time of the year.
Photography is my own, some has been used previously in older posts, some interesting things seen and enjoyed once again on our local beach.
Bluebottles or The Portuguese man o' war (Physalia physalis), arrive in strong winds during warmer months of the year (like now). Don't swim they arrive when strong winds blow bluebottles into the shoreline, they do have a nasty sting (watch where you walk as well).
Heron footprint in the soft sand made for something different when meandering along the beach.
To me beaches are fascinating how some plant life survives, assisting the sand dunes hold together, build then along come a high tide or strong wind to change the pattern of the dune, while plants try desperately hard to hold the dunes in place.
Most unusual sighting was the Flame Lily flower hanging in on the sand dune a couple of years ago, once and only time I have seen this plant on a beach.
Once again I mention these photographs have more than likely been used previously on the old platform or in previous content, these are purely to place them into one space, on the beach!
Have a wonderful new week and thanks for visiting.
Above the dunes 2006 top two pics, after Spring Tide 2007 beach cleared of sand, a week or two later due to winds the lagoon ran up the coast. This has now all changed once again and the dunes are slowly building once again.
