It's been a wild and wet weekend on Stradbroke Is.
Main Beach at Point Lookout is littered with open water creatures washed in by strong north westerlies - and all blues and purples. What a treat!
Sea Lizard (Glaucus) - it's just stunning
Bluebottle or Portuguese Man-O-War (Physalia)
By-the-wind Sailor (Velella) - literally thousands of these washed up
Sea snail which floats on open ocean using a bubble raft (Janthina)
Even the crabs are blue
What a feast for the Sooty Oystercatchers
Lots of whales, turtles and dolphins enjoying the weather - and no plastic washed up!

I've never seen a sea lizard before - they are pretty.
Yes - gorgeous aren't they, and quite tiny. Lots of inspiration for some marine screen print designs in the future!
