I'll get to the strange part later. We are still in the midst of our heatwave so I decided to take the dogs where there was shade and water.

You feel cooler just looking at this pic eh !

After a cooling dip in the water Maisy was ready to hit the trail again:

The whole area is alive with colour, not sure if this Pea Vine has any uses but it sure makes things look pretty. The green plant below the Pea Vine is Sea Asparagus which is quite a tasty edible !

Came across a cute pair of snakes but with the blazing sun this pair was fully charged and lightening fast so I only got this one pic:

Better include a knife pic eh !

Okay, now to the strange part, as I walked back along the beach I came across loads of these little fish lying around. Does anyone know what they are and why so many would be lying on the beach ? They are about 4" long !

The fish is a trout that has been run over by an ATV. You can see the tread right on his sides! :)

I really want to be where that first picture is.
 
I like the greenery of your area. It is a much darker green then where I live and looks a lot better. Thanks for sharing.
 
Sometimes large predator fish will push schools of small fish into the shallows to feed and the small ones leap to get away. Ive seen them end up on docks and in boats this way. How far from waters edge were they?--KV

I was thinking the same thing.

By the way Pit, I love that first shot! The full sized file would make an awesome desk top!

Forgot to add this pic of a little Lizard that was also out enjoying the sunshine:
