The critter who went for a dawn walk on this beach followed a chaotic path indeed.

Very much a challenge to find "Chaos" for a PhotoFriday entry, especially when I usually look for order and balance when I shoot.

Placed 30th (oh well) in the FujiMugs "Movies" challenge.

Between Anzac Day services just after dawn, I went for a walk towards "The Narrows", below Lake Baroon / Baroon Pocket Dam.

Taken on a walk down the "Narrows" below Baroon Pocket Dam / Lake Baroon on Anzac Day, 2005.

From November 2004. A thunderstorm had just passed out to the east, the sun was setting beneath the remaining cloud. I figured there was a good chance for a rainbow over the Sandgate jetty, the drive was worth it.

Taken for the Fujimugs "Texture" challenge. Placed 43/81. This version has a reduced border with a clean edge, rather than the large, feathered edge border I submitted for the challenge.
The root shown here is that of the Strangler Fig which makes it's way in life by wrapping it's aerial roots around host trees, ultimately consuming them.
