We gently encouraged this little sand crab to go onto the rocky area for a photo shoot, because it blended in so well with the sand that it was not easily seen.
Had this mad thought. If there were marketing consultants in the crab world, they surely would not get a good hearing if they told their clients to stand out from the crowd, would they?
It might not look like it from this picture but there is a big surf running here at world famous Snapper Rocks. Usually we see the surfers just plunging straight in and paddling out to the waves. On this day, we noticed everybody waiting, waiting: nobody was trying to get out to the break until they could see a short respite in the pounding surf. A little while later they had all paddled out, but for those few minutes as we were walking by there was obviously a collective “let’s all not do anything stupid here” experience.
Fortune may favor the bold but sometimes it’s really smart to wait till the right moment, not just dive in.

We saw this Santa hat on the beach at world famous surfing spot Snapper Rocks. The amusing thought of a portly Santa on a short board was quickly dispelled by realising it was probably just a leftover from a Christmas Day lunch.
Strange as it may seem to those who live where Christmas means cold and maybe snow and ice, in Australia it is the height of summer. On Christmas Day on the beach here it is not unusual to see people having a family picnic, celebrating in swimsuits, sunburn cream and Santa hats.

Wishing everyone a magical 2011, this message was written on a beach far from where we live at Yabbarra Beach in Dalmeny NSW where we went for Christmas with Suzie’s brother and family. We were delighted to find long stretched of beach almost to ourselves.

Balance is partly poise, partly letting go. Struggling doesn’t work, or not for long anyway. How’s your business balance, one with the wave, or struggling? Try relaxing (but not so much as to fall off the board, so to speak).
