Located in the centre of town, Horseshoe Bay is the most popular beach with locals and visitors alike. Featuring grassy headlands to picnic on, a sandy beach to sunbake, a sheltered cove to swim in and a 180 degree view from the mountains to Trial Bay. Horseshoe Bay is home to an excellent right hand wave that’s the locals' choice when we have east coast lows.

Etta, sunbaking again ... at least we have Rashies for her now.

Etta would choose a sleep in the sun everyday if she could.

Bluey! Some days ago this was the first eastern blue-tongued skink, Tiliqua scincoides scincoides that I'd seen for a while — a sign of Spring's arrival. I've seen three now. The others were smaller and more pale. One was being mobbed by birds, the other was simply lazing on their patio in the sunshine. I say they because its gender isn't obvious.
This one is very dark. A lot of the reptiles here are, including the tiger snakes. Striped alike, it's always a good idea to look for the chunky head, the ear and legs — all things absent on the timid but highly venomous tiger snake. This colouration is possibly an adaptation to this cold climate. See here how this bluey is flattened out like a reptilian solar panel? Normally, they'd be more round.
It was cool this morning when I went this way to lop some of the older wattles. Now I need to fell a dead one. This is a chainsaw job. Blue is a bit sleepy so before I grab the saw, I'll race back and pick up a camera. I feel a bit bad about all the noise I'll make. But it won't take long, hopefully they'll be warmed up by then, and they can settle back into whatever's planned in their day.

After my little retreat I decided I needed more, So I took myself off to one of my favorite beaches and spent the entire day hiking the bush and coastline but a girl needs to rest once in a while so I had a sunbake on the beach ( looking like a beached white whale after winter the tourists must of thought it was Migaloo popping in for a stop or I scared the tourists off) damn had the place almost to myself in the late afternoon, before meandering the long hike back to the car where a nice policeman was waiting for me to make sure I was ok, wasn't that nice of him, he was a new ACT cop. I made it home by dark anyways .. I had such a great day with myself. lucky for me this place is only 10 minutes from home, hell that is my home I am so so blessed to live in paradise

California Harbor Seal exiting the tide pool for a sleep in the sun.
The harbor (or harbour) seal (Phoca vitulina), also known as the common seal, is a true seal found along temperate and Arctic marine coastlines of the Northern Hemisphere. The most widely distributed species of pinniped (walruses, eared seals, and true seals), they are found in coastal waters of the northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Baltic and North Seas.
Harbor seals are brown, silvery white, tan, or gray, with distinctive V-shaped nostrils. An adult can attain a length of 1.85 m (6.1 ft) and a mass of 132 kg (290 lb). Blubber under the seal's skin helps to maintain body temperature. Females outlive males (30–35 years versus 20–25 years). Harbor seals stick to familiar resting spots or haulout sites, generally rocky areas (although ice, sand, and mud may also be used) where they are protected from adverse weather conditions and predation, near a foraging area. Males may fight over mates under water and on land. Females bear a single pup after a nine-month gestation, which they care for alone. Pups can weigh up to 16 kg (35 lb) and are able to swim and dive within hours of birth. They develop quickly on their mothers' fat-rich milk, and are weaned after four to six weeks.

As an addition to the earlier shot at a Southbank lagoon, this shows another lagoon with a lovely white sandy beach, an ice-cream stand and a duty lifeguard on the right. And with all of this and the local wildlife to keep you amused, what more could you want? It's been suggested....beer! (That's there too).
Some of the city's central business district is clearly visible in the background and if you look really closely you can see the river between this lagoon and the northern city river bank.
Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate all of your comments. :)

'Fence Friday' Post (pardon the Pun!) taken at Phillip Island. This Fence/walkway is to stop Tourists, who come to see the seals sunbaking on the smaller islands; falling over the edge & down the cliff in their efforts to find the perfect vantage spot!

I was delighted to spot this beautiful lace monitor lizard (aka goanna) in our back garden, atop a stone dragon, enjoying a sunbake.

Unlike most lizards - that I'm familiar with, at least - Boyd's Forest Dragons apparently don't sunbake. They instead just let their body temperature follow their natural environment (under the canopy of rainforest trees).
I'd never really considered it before researching them, but there's a full spectrum of thermoregulation to thermoconformance in reptiles. Traditionally we think only of endotherms (e.g. mammals & birds, "warm-blooded" animals) as thermoregulating, but that's not accurate. Endotherms thermoregulate primarily through metabolism (or other internal controls) whereas ectotherms do it primarily through external controls (e.g. sunbaking or hiding in the shade).

The headless chicken ... This sun worshipper at Manly Cove on a late autumn day looked like she had suffered a rather unfortunate accident. For all my latest photos visit my gallery: mike-gee.smugmug.com/Latestworks/
