A Morning Walk - Hervey Bay

This was a wonderful morning for an early walk along the beach with my camera, and where is there a better place to do this than the beautiful Hervey Bay.
The Jacaranda comes into season in our Spring, in the wonderful State of Queensland, Australia. These trees are somewhat different to most, in that they are bare over winter then bloom with abundant mauve flowers that fall to the ground and produce a mauve carpet. The flowers are then gradually replaced by the foliage. The 'show' is at the beginning of the season and then the trees become somewhat plain over Summer.
Moha Moha is a recent piece of sculpture that has been placed on the Hervey Bay foreshore at Torquay Beach. The sea creature is reported to have a round body about 8 feet in diameter, a long fish tail, a long tortoise like neck and head and be about 30 feet in length.
