I think everyone should at least once experience how it feels to climb the mountain of sand … the prize is  …view on the top

Water of this creek was  deceptively dark untill the light beam illuminated it revealing the crystal clear structure and transforming it into the vision of flowing light…all it took was a ray of sunshine…

I have taken this unusual photograph of Green Tree Snake swimming while kayaking on one of the Sunshine Coast creeks. I wasn’t  aware of its presence until my kayak brushed against the rock on which this beautiful specimen was sunning. The snake  raised its head quiet high to appear much larger and to warn me to back off . Having a snake at my eye level was good enough reason so I started to quickly reverse my kayak.  The next moment was very tense as the snake decided to slider down into the water and proceeded to swim  towards the bow of my kayak . The last thing I needed was snake inside my kayak so I reacted even faster and moved out of her way. While kayaking I always have my camera with tele- lens ready so I can capture moments like this one.

Green Tree Snakes as their name suggests usually have yellow-green underbelly but few areas on Sunshine Coast have specimens which vary from green-blue to totally blue in color. In any case this was one very pretty snake.
