Ever since I took the not so good shots of the Osprey up in the communications tower near Hillarys Beach last weekend I've been back down there with my long lens a few times on a mission to catch a much better close up. No luck, either they've moved on for the time being or they see me coming and vamoose! Not wanting to go home empty handed I had a quick wonder over to
the dog beach to see if there were many four footed cuties to snap (if they happened to be attached to two footed cuties all the better haha!) it was 6pm and despite the wind being up a bit the beach was crowded with Perthites and their best buddies having a grand time. Only one more sleep till Santa comes, I hope you're all suitably excited! Enjoy your Christmas Eve, take care..see you on Christmas Day.....
AH! It would seem to me to be magical to be on the beach at Christmas!
ReplyDeletePlaying with your dog at the beach - priceless! Thanks, Grace.
ReplyDeleteHave a Blessed Christmas, Grace!
ReplyDeleteI hope you come back and read this Cheri, I still can't comment on your blog. I wish yourself and family the best Christmas, have a wonderful day.
DeleteThat looks like fun, Grace. Is carrying a camera a good technique for meeting cute guys?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect way to spend a perfect day. There is a very soggy pooch in the third photo. Your next post-osprey pooch assignment is a dog-shake moment with droplets flying everywhere. [I wouldn't ask if I could do it myself, honest!]
ReplyDeleteLots of dogs playing on the beach today and quite a lot of 2-legged cuties too! You are always thinking of us.
ReplyDeleteGreat images. Thank you for this escape into summer. Please have you and yours a blessed Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYou should consult Jilly about photographing dogs on the beach - she's the expert. Have you ever looked at http://www.rivieradogs.com/? I still can't quite deal with the Christmas in summer thing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice warm day.
ReplyDeleteHow cool to have a Doggie Beach !! and what a great place to capture a few pics as you say with or without owner or vice versa!!
ReplyDeleteHoping you and your family enjoy a wonderful Christmas time Grace and keep on snapping in 2013.
Hi Grace. These are lovely clear crisp images of Christmas on the beach. No doubt the Osprey will return when you least expect it. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2013. Cheers J.
ReplyDeleteFun candid shots!

Always love a beach scene. I've just been looking and up near Exmouth breeding season is June to November. Maybe it was a false feeling of a need to nest. Interesting to note that Telstra is not heartless about the birds nesting in their facilities.

Snow storm here at the moment, so these shots are warming me up a bit.
ReplyDeleteLove the beach scenes, bird or no bird! Have a very Merry Christmas. Janey
ReplyDeleteThose dogs look like they're having so much fun! Hope Santa Paws treats them well this year. Merry Christmas, Grace.
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteLovely beach shots, Grace. I can practically see the dog tails wagging furiously.
