Southern tip of North Stradbroke Island
A photo essay of a day at the beach
A couple of weeks ago, before the weather broke into this rain, rain, rain here in SE Queensland we went for a trip in the tinny to the southern end of North Stradbroke Island ~
As a reminder, that the sun does sometimes shine, here are a few photos…
(and when you get to the bottom, for a bit of fun, add what the weather is like wherever you are in the world ‘today’ – as you read this!)
Mooring the Boat at the southern tip of North Stradbroke Island
and out onto the open beach
It always amazes me how these beautiful shells are made!
Definitely worthy of some extra attention
So I was spurred into doing a couple of sketches when I got home!
Shapes, colours, textures...

Looking out into the South Pacific Ocean ~ Nothing between us and South America
So, I wonder where this coconut came from?
Signs of life
...and signs of a moving coastline
*sigh* The beach 
What’s the weather like where you are NOW?

In Sydney it is windy and overcast – sprinkles of rain here and there and looking to storm!
In Vancouver it’s grey and drizzling. The air is chilly and the clouds are tired. Tomorrow will be brighter.

12°C overcast and drizzle in Wellington, New Zealand today at 2pm. No wind, which is a blessing! Dreaming of sunnier, warmer climes
Here in downtown Kalbar it is overcast, slight breeze, waiting for the rain from the West to reach us very soon!
That was quite some rain we got wasn’t it?
Nearly got blown away!
Such beautiful shots, Linda. Quite took me away there for a sec. Really like your pic borders. Jolly nice touches! Best regards, P.
Pleased those Qld sunny skies gave you a little break away on a Friday afternoon…
And thanks for the Melbourne weather update – Hope its improved for your weekend
Oh yes; I quite forgot. It’s cold, windy and bucketing rain in Melbourne, Australia. Snow to 500 metres. That’s pretty deep!
Weather roundup:
BRISBANE Bay Islands, now raining and super blustery
KALBAR, SE QLD: overcast… about to rain
SYDNEY: Windy, sprinkling rain
VANCOUVER: Grey and drizzly
WELLINGTON, NZ: Overcast & drizzle
MELBOURNE: Cold, windy and bucketing rain
Is all this rain due to La Nina?
Linda, beautiful photos and great work on the sketches – you clever thing. I’d rather not talk about the weather
Thanks for dropping by Suellen ~
It was such fun yesterday, seeing updates from across the world coming in!!
The wind and rain here last night was fighting furious -
But this morning, while still blowy, the sky and the air feels as though its been vacuum cleaned LOL
Crisp, fresh and oh so clear -
Such a beautiful contrast
Here in S’thn Highlands NSW, it’s clear with easing cold blustery westerlies. Ahh, there’s nothing like such fresh air for one to be out in cleaning up after these (now) subsiding cyclonic conditions
It seems to have been super blustery across the whole of eastern Australia today – and last night we felt as though we were going to get blown away
9 degrees celcius and Overcast here in Brussels this morning. About average.
There is no such thing as bad weather only the wrong clothing! Photos look great just after rain or even in rain.
I hope you’re got your winter wardrobe out, so you’re well ‘rugged up’ then!
