The beginning of summer

OCT 2007:
This was a magical late spring day - just warm enough to want to be on the beach but not hot enough for swimming yet.
Making the day really specialPatrick took Brendan and the kids for a spin in their boat, but while they were away I saw a school of dolphins playing just off the beach.


Spring has come to the rock pools too. We spotted a massive school of tiny fish from the balcony, literally thousands of finger size fish swarming around the rocks and being hunted by four persistant shad. The photo really doesn't do the volume of them justice.

At the same time we spotted these sea slugs in the rockpools, hundreds of them where a week before there were none, wonder how long they will stay around.
