Hi Folks

Another funny week, with a mix of clouds, rain, clear skies, calm seas, rough seas etc, but always surrounded by nature.  The sand is moving again, with about half the beach returning.  The gutter is still clear and available for swimming, but did not see anyone this week.

The birds were quiet, but did spot both Ospreys active over the Lake Narrabeen entrance, and a bit higher up was a Kestrel.

This week was also the start of the Sydney Surf Pro surfing contest at North Narrabeen Beach, with the administration parked at the NN Surf Club.

I did manage to capture the gold glow & sea mist of the northern headland in a picture, which I like very much.  Hope you also like it.

Some of the pics feature:

  • Turimetta Beach sunrises & clouds
  • Erosion at the northern end
  • Sunrise & golden mist
  • Rock slip update
  • Northern end rocks
  • Middle beach rock shelfs & sunrise
  • Storm out to sea
  • Last autumn leaf on the wet road
  • Pink sunrise
  • North Narrabeen Beach surf contest (Day 2)
  • Lake Narrabeen entrance sand update
  • Dead Banksia leaves

As always, enjoy nature.

Joe.

Gerry and I went for a walk down to the Narrabeen Headland to see the results of the recent downpours and storms.  I took some pics as well.

It was late afternoon close to sunset on Sunday April 7 2024.
