Lunch with the best ocean view .....

...... and what a view, the most stunning beauty spanning the entire horizon you could ever imagine to see. The scene always takes my breath away every time I see it on the lower deck or upper decks of the Mooloolaba Surf Club. It is one of the most popular breakfast lunch and dinner destinations for locals and tourists on the Sunshine Coast. It must have a rating of 10 stars at least. No kidding. Bookings are essential to get a table,' walk ins' usually miss out.

My friends and I lunched on the lower deck looking out at a gorgeous blue cloudless sky over very flat and calm blue sea, totally perfect for paddle boarders and kayakers enthusiasts.

Here is the 180 degree panoramic view full of busy beach goers enjoying themselves.

The little yachts and white sails stood out as they ripped over the water.

Here is the impressive welcoming The Surf Club sign encouraging tourists and visitors to come on in. We left the Club just at the right time to see the shadow of a palm tree stamped across the sign. I stayed a shadow hunter long enough to take one little pic.

The stroll along the path is one of the pleasant to be had, a most picturesque seaside town allowing beach goers to walk, sit or paddle to suit the many fancies. Who is able to resist the unique beauty of this long stretched out beach front, salty water, sandy beaches and smooth rocks always beckoning. My eyes could to turn away, so much nature to see and admire, so many pics to take home with me.

One last farewell shot before I slid into my car seat promising myself that I will be back as really I have no excuse now that I am a retiree.

Cheers, I appreciate you dropping by to look at my photos and read my words.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo

Here is today's early morning flower, one of the many flowers covering a shrub happily flourishing in the cool air of the autumn days. Always time to take a photo of a flower as soon as I wake up so I can finish my post with #alwayaflower. I am a hopelessly in love with flowers.
