The happy wanderer and more..

 

A little break from the sculptures today to show a few scenes that caught my eye. The young man wearing the 'happy wanderer' tee shirt above and below was deep in thought as he looked out across the ocean before he and his faithful companion wandered off along the pier..

Below life imitating art :) Loved the symmetry between the man showering and the sculpture..

Hmmm! A sculpture or not.. sometimes it's hard to tell :)

There are always adorable dogs 💙

Aussie kids doing what Aussie kids love doing.. Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club activities go on regardless..

... and then there was the osprey named Patronus by the locals. Patronus and partner have a nest nearby and this is their hunting ground. He had found a prime spot atop one of the sculptures along the pier to survey the scene, one can only imagine what he was thinking :) I'm off to Cottesloe this morning to meet fellow Perth blogger Sami and take pics of the many sculptures I missed on Sunday. Happy Friday, take care and stay safe..

  2. Always interesting activity along the shore. The Osprey is such a beautiful bird. The locals must be thrilled to have this pair nesting nearby. Have a great weekend, Grace, and tell Sami we also follow her blog.

  3. A gorgeous bird, but I wouldn't be happy to be in the viewfinder of Patronus.

  9. Wow that osprey is just wonderful, I would love to see one. They are around but not in our area. Keep well and hope the cough has gone. Diane
