– Having No Expectations – There seemed little hope of any sunrise getting through the busy cloud on the horizon aat Coolum Beach this morning. Perhaps  the forecast of ‘Chance of shower’ kept a few regular morning walkers away, the

Hello Monday, means rain bucketing at 05:00, continuing at 05:20. Maybe I’ll miss my walk this morning. Beach life often enough means rainy mornings though we don’t like to advertise too much, the truth is Mother Nature rules. I busy

Birds Rule this Morning Cloudy and dark this morning as I set off at 05:30, along the Coolum boardwalk. Above me, an osprey tilts his wings and heads north.  The waves are a tidy two feet or so, white against

Waking Up Coolum Beach – Wed 23 May 2018

Not another day living in the glorious Queensland paradise of Coolum Beach? Does it ever get boring? No. Every morning is like a blank canvas, sometimes I think, not another photograph of sunrise! But as soon as the light changes
