114) Art on the beach

Nancy in the 'bait-ball'


Every spring (down here) there is an art showing called "The Swell" on the esplanade along Currumbin Beach. These are large art pieces and on weekends, there is quite the festive atmosphere.















ummm - need to eat more of the good fried OZ food!












Dancing on the beach for fun?













Or for going for a jog in the buff?
















A large Camphor-laurel with an intricate artsy root system. Nature as Art!









Carved stone Manta Ray










We found a good local park that is well populated with small birds. Here a Red-browed finch in a classic pose.


















Red-backed fairy wren with breakkie.
















A pair of chestnut-breasted mannekins
















An osprey scanning the estuary....















A double-barred finch peering into the grass for dinner













This is where thongs (ozzie for flip-flops) go to die - the fence of single-shoes down at Hastings Point













We haven't seen this guy in the wild just yet...!
