What defense would a naked man have against the hound and I!

“Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”

~ Franz Kafka

Sunshine, blue skies, Kingfishers, low tide .... what more could a girl possibly want!

I’m OBSESSED with mornings that begin like this!

The only thing missing from our morning ramble was the male nudist who dives of the rocks at Ladies Bay.  That might have something to do with it being low tide. 

It’s a tad difficult to dive into the waves when there aren’t any there.

I’m quite expecting him to wave at us one of these fine mornings.

Each to their own I guess.

I mentioned to a customer today that WITH the warmer weather has come this nude gentleman swimming at Ladies Bay early in the morning.  She asked if it didn’t make me nervous seeing him there.

With a chuckle I replied that he’s the one who should be nervous.  

What defense would a naked man have against the hound and I.  

It’s laughable!

We are invincible and, when the significant other’s in tow, even more so.

The one advantage of having the significant other join me on my rambles is that the hound gets her logs thrown further.  That’s an advantage at low tide as the waves are MILES away.  Well, maybe not QUITE miles but certainly a lot further than what I can toss a caber.

Whilst he tosses log after ball after log for the hound, I torment the Kingfishers.

There was only one this morning but it was the little boy Kingfisher.  He’s been the most elusive to photograph and this morning was no exception.  The light was awesome though so despite his inability to sit still for longer than a few seconds at a time, I was able to shoot off several pics.

He made up for all the moments when he’s flitted off before I can get my act together!

Suitably satisfied I headed back to the beach.  Ramble time is over far too quickly on the mornings I have to be at the shop and I still NEED my caffeine fix.
