The sky and sea are as blue as ever,
the beaches pristine white..
but alas the grass is turning brown
With not a drop of rain in sight..
Just across the road from the Beaches Cafe, (yesterdays post) in Cottesloe is one of Perth's best beaches and the venue for the last eight years of Sculpture by the Sea, the 2013/ ninth exhibition is in March, looking forward to it. The colonial style building on the left is the Indiana Tearooms.. I couldn't resist the last shot, it seems to me that as long as there have been boys 'playing' on the beach, there are invariably girls watching them! As I've always been a bit of a night owl I usually post at midnight Perth time (now), but my late nights and early mornings are catching up with me, so from now I'm going to be tucked up in bed with my book (?) by 10 pm and will post at 8am Perth time, makes much more sense right! So I'll see you on Saturday morning! Happy Friday, hope it's a good one, take care....
Oh, what a gorgeous beach and so beautifully decorated with handsome young men!! I'm sure I'd be watching, too!! Terrific captures!! I do love the blue, blue water and matching skies! Awesome! Enjoy your weekend, Grace!!
ReplyDeleteI love views of the ocean and beaches, something we don't see too much of out here in the desert. A lot of rocks and mountains now.
ReplyDeleteNice beaches.....wish i could be there for a short Holiday
ReplyDeletegreetings from a cold Netherlands, joop
Beautiful beach. The various hues of blue between the sky, open water and shoreline are wonderful. Have you considered scheduling your posts on a time delay? I usually schedule mine for just after midnight Florida time. I've never had a problem with it...and it makes blogging life a lot easier for me. Enjoy your rest!
ReplyDeleteHoliday pictures, I love it! The summer seems so far here...
ReplyDeleteThe sand is so white! Love it.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'd be happily watching too! Gorgeous captures - what could be better than beach, water, sky and people?:) I'm a night owl too but also feeling the effect of post-Christmas early work wake-ups - 10pm tuck-ins with a book sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful looking beach, with beautiful looking people.
ReplyDeleteOh, I think I change hemisphere.
ReplyDeleteI see that you are without rain.
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of snow and rain in Spain.
Beautiful Landscape of Perth
I love this town, thanks to you
Hugs.
I am envious of the beach right about now...lovely scenes!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm! :-) Too hot for me though!
ReplyDeleteSunshine, sand and seaside!
ReplyDeleteI'm in tears here!
It is really cold here today - windchill of -25˚C so that looks lovely. I just got an e-mail from friends who are Freemantle until Feb 1 telling me how warm it is there - really rubbing it in!
ReplyDeleteYou can schedule your posts to go up when you wish; but I enjoy visiting you anytime!
ReplyDeleteHappy Aloha to YOU

What a surprise. I didn't expect that gorgeous beach across the street. Beautiful photos!!!! Enjoy that book!
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of beautiful beaches as I've been to most of the ones in Florida but we have only a very few with such gorgeous white sand. These photos look particularly inventing.
ReplyDeleteAnd sometimes there are guys watching each other as well:) Beaches are such social places. Love the sea gull in the middle shot. Some people people watch....and some go to watch the birds:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful summer beach colours! In my world, yesterday shone with summer, but today, greys are spinning around on gale force winds! It's all so weird!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, that last photo is a story in itself :)
ReplyDeleteoh such alluring easiness in your world.
ReplyDeleteThis beach looks divine.
ReplyDeleteSome things never change Grace.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice day.
ReplyDeleteIndiana Tea Rooms... I wonder if there is anywhere from Evansville to Indianapolis to Ft. Wayne you can get a decent cup of Darjeeling. This beach, however, is drop dead gorgeous. Indiana has beaches, vast dunes along Lake Michigan east of Chicago. Just rather different beaches.
ReplyDeleteWe really are a lucky lot! Except it was a bit of a worry about the Trigg fire yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the girls are checking out the boys. They chose a place to be alone so they could recite poetry without being interrupted.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the Indiana Tearooms building.
ReplyDeleteI love those intense colors...
ReplyDeleteBest regards from Paris,
Pierre
What gorgeous scenes and weather you're having! Enjoy it!

These images remind me Brazil, I'm so homesick these days! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful beach, so nice to see people enjoying the Summer time there. I'm tired about this winter and all snow here!LoL
Happy Friday!

You have you own televison shows at the beach I see. Girl watch boy and then...?
ReplyDeleteI think you have the pic of the beaches over there Grace .... the blue and the white always make for great captures.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of your beaches!
ReplyDeleteNice shots Grace, I am envious of your weather! Have a good weekend..
ReplyDeleteYour beaches are nice. And they seem to be popular. Brookville, where I live in Ohio, has no beaches, no lakes or rivers. But we do have a creek with a big name, "Wolf Creek." So named because the wolves used to inhabit the area in great numbers.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite passe-temps, when I was younger , of course! :o)
ReplyDeleteOMG, your beaches are soooooooooo gorgeous!
This is such a beautiful beach! I think if I lived there I'd be there very often.
ReplyDeleteTruly wonderful blues and whites on the beach photos, and another lovely post Grace. Interesting you were veggie for a decade- I have been for 30 years now, since I was 20 (opps,given my age away)- but still young enough to be a girl watching the boys on your beach, have a good w/e!
ReplyDeleteFun, fun, fun.
ReplyDeleteCan't get over that white white sand and beautiful blue water!....
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful spot!
