Distant Tides

A view of Rosebud beach on Port Phillip Bay when the tide is out.


Like silvered ripples
Blessed with soft afternoon light
And feathered frail clouds

Tide's out at Rosebud beach


When the waters leave
Pockets of sandy islands

Leading to the village shops
A homely feeling

Bright Tears

Even in the midst of so much rain on my peninsula, there is still beauty.

Tears fall on a rose
Like sunlight shining in rain
Beauty and sadness

A boat shed?

One of the tiniest little boat sheds at Dromana beach
This one is tucked between its "mansion" neighbours


Tiny, cute boat shed
Big enough to store beach chairs
No room for a boat

Heavenly Blue

It seems like months since I have seen clear blues on my peninsula.
For me, this view of cloudless skies over a sun bathed Dromana beach is a heavenly sight.


Heavenly blue skies
Cloudless light bathed in soft breeze
Summer joys are near

Water Ski Time

At first, this sign at Anthony's Nose seems quite familiar! Nothing special!
But I love the tilt and punch of the second last word!


A necessity
Holiday sounds for summer 
Buzz of water skis

Spring Waves

At last, the waves at Dromana beach look inviting for a cooling swim


Curling splash of waves
When the weather gets warmer

Spotty

Far from a great photo, but I had to capture a spotty car!
While getting petrol for my car at Rosebud, I saw this spotty number across the road in the Macdonald's drive through.
I grabbed the camera and just managed to capture a glimpse!


A spotty number
Some rare art for vehicles
Car with attitude

The Exception

An area of Dromana beach near the pier bans all kinds of watercraft.
The sign is very explicit, covering all varieties so that there is no misunderstanding.
The pier is used for fishing.
I wonder what the seagull thinks?


I think I'm special
I am a winged watercraft
The sign omits me
