When the tide is low…..
Debbie’s One Word Sunday: Low
….the crabs come out to forage and rebuild their nests. The rebuilding creates fabulous patterns on the sand.
Sand Crabs start preparing do dig in the sand
Try to arrange the sand balls as they like
Just dig and throw
The sand balls build up as they dig
and suddenly intricate patterns are created
Only to be washed away when the tide comes in
Soldier crabs march across the sand looking for a snack or two

This is February 2019
February didn’t see me taking many photos. I was feeling rather uninspired and a bit flat. A lot of things were happening and I think that a lack of rainfall was one of the reasons I didn’t get out and about finding new and wonderful things to share.
So this month it isn’t a case of getting a cuppa or snacks. I won’t take up too much of your time so scroll on folks
Perhaps this shopping cart sums up my month.
With the heat and lack of rain, the fire crews were doing their best to make sure everyone was safe. From my besties place near the airport, the fire crews and the spotting helicopter flew out every morning.
An angel of the sky, the Sky Crane does wonders in helping the ground crews put out the fires. We watched as it flew out in the mornings and back in late evening.
Enough of the gloom. Here’s a Koala climbing a tree. It looks like he has Koala shorts on too.
The ever present Australian Raven finding a snack in the garden outside the Art Gallery
I had to include the inquisitive Pacific Heron who was frog hunting on my dam.
The Bar-shouldered Dove doesn’t look all that impressed with the White-throated Honeyeaters sharing the bird bath
Up close a Bar-shouldered Dove looks quite pretty even if the wind is ruffling feathers.
Every morning and evening, the Ibis fly over the house either to feeding grounds or to their roosts.
A Silver Gull takes a walk along the beach
There is nothing better that laying under the shade of a Pandanus Tree on a hot day at the beach.
Remember the little Sand Crab. Well here he is again
The little Blue-banded Bees are buzzing around the garden checking out the Pentas flowers.
Despite the hot dry weather, the butterflies are returning to the garden. The Orchard Butterflies enjoy the Pentas too.
At night, the outside Velvet Geckos hang around getting their snacks from the insects hanging around the light that spills from the house onto the verandahs.
The Full Moon reflecting on the water with a rare rain shower at night.
I wonder if the mural or the lock on the door came first.
OK the sun is setting and here you are at the end already.
I hope you found a favourite

The Sand Crab
A while ago, I posted about sand crab art
On the weekend I actually had a Sand Crab, just near where I sat under the shade of a Pandanus tree, removing sand from his burrow. As this was the beginnings of the creative process, I didn’t capture the finished artwork.
He was quite busy coming and going tossing little balls of sand. The individual photos didn’t really capture the event, so I found a website that I could create a GIF file of the event for you. This is the first GIF I have made.
