Cuban kids strutting their stuff. All four of them were having a go. This was on May 1st, which is a national holiday in Cuba, so the beach was packed with locals.
This little Robin was following the Turnstones around on the beach to see if they missed any 'goodies' under the stones!
Another day at the beach. I love this place and no matter how many times I have been it always is different.

If you gave these kangaroos a surf board, they would probably have a go at riding it.
These are the surf bums of Cape Hillsborough. Just hanging out with their mates, waiting for the perfect wave. View Large On Black
These are free range kangaroos, still wild animals yet have become accustomed to people. They come out on the beach at Cape Hillsborough every morning and are becoming famous tourist attractions of North Queensland. You can give them a pat as most are not scared off by people approaching them.
Cape Hillsborough is about a forty minute drive north of Mackay. Fabulous unspoiled national park with a quiet nature resort for those wishing to spend the night and get up early to see the kangaroos on the beach.
Newton Beach right in the centre of the town of Millport has won numerous awards over the years, this shot from the Farland Hills above the town show the town and the beach with Kilchattan Bay on the Isle of Bute in the background.

As I was walking along Coast Guard Beach in Eastham today, I found this very large beetle (about 1 1/4 long) (3 cm). I believe it's a great diving beetle, Dytiscus marginalis. It must have been blown off course and crashed into the surf during a flight between ponds. These guys don't like the salt water as far as I know.
It was alive and very animated when I went to pick it up, so I moved it up the beach to the shade of a large piece of driftwood. Hopefully he will regain his strength and fly off to a smaller "pond" this time.

The beach of Preveli, Finikas (Phoenix) as it is officially known, is situated at the southern coast of Crete, some 40 kilometers far from Rethymnon at the South. It is a unique sandy beach, very beautiful, with a forest of palm trees, which make it quite exotic. The mouth of the river Kourtaliotis is at this beach; the river has enough water even in summer, and just before flowing into the sea it forms a small lagoon; thus, if you choose this beach for swimming, you might have the chance to bathe both in salted and sweet water! Walking up the river is a fascinating experience; the palm trees grown on the banks of the river give a rich shade and the soil is even and sandy. In times you may think that you are in an African oasis.
