On the water front

Today I decided to take a walk along the beach at Cooke Point.

The tide is at its lowest in the late afternoon so you can literally walk kilometres before you reach the ocean. Forget about beach cricket, you could play a proper test match over here!

The little blue dots in this photo are sand crabs. They spend their days rolling little balls of sand. I have no idea why. It must be purposeful, it looks too deliberate to be pointless. If you try to look at them close up they get frightened and quickly borrow into the sand. Very cute.

I wonder whether they still measure the depth with this wooden peg?

Halfway there

The sun begins to set

The evening has landed.
So ends another 'tough' winter day in the Pilbara.
