I took these shots yesterday afternoon standing on Mullaloo Beach, about ten minutes from where I live, looking up the coast towards Ocean Reef Boat Harbour. What attracted me to the shot was the formation of clouds disappearing away into the distance in little puffs of white, grey and maybe even the odd silver lining :) In the shot below you can see that same cloud formation looking back the way I had come.. the colours of the sky and sea are an ever changing mystery don't you think!
... and look at that! Very high in those clouds a feathered predator hovering. It's not a good shot, I only had a moment to change lens but if you pull it in you can see the falcon, head down searching before he swooped on his unsuspecting prey! They are pretty amazing to watch in action. Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe...
The blues are beautiful. And to think you live only 10 minutes from such beauty!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy few things more than silver linings! These cloud photos are extraordinary so I can only imagine how pleasant it must have been for you not only to see but to photograph that beautiful sky.
ReplyDeleteAmazing vistas!
ReplyDeleteYes! I know what you mean!

Awesome captures and breathtaking beauty, Grace!! I do agree with EG, to only live 10 minutes from so much beauty is heaven on earth!! Thanks so much for sharing these! Hope your week is going well!! Enjoy every minute!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a spot for a walk, Grace! The sky is incredible in these pics.
ReplyDeleteThe cloud formations are really lovely. I wish my rushed shots (the bird of prey) came out as well as yours!
ReplyDeleteLight is an amazing thing especially down at the beach.
ReplyDeleteThe sky in each direction changes colour, the sea varies here and there, the light is always so 'clear' near a beach caused I muse by bouncing off water.
Great for pictures!
A Falcon would be good anywhere!
Super shots!
Sigh! Enormous big sigh!
ReplyDeleteLove how the clouds seem to follow the shoreline!
what a beautiful clouds... lovely photos...
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to step right into your picture and keep on walking .... beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour autumn looks much nicer than our spring.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous views, Grace!
ReplyDeleteGreat cloud formations really lift these shots and I do like the falcon, we have a pair living in the mountains behind our home we hear them more than see them. Very distinctive call.
ReplyDeleteThe clouds look so pretty Grace and I certainly enjoying seeing the falcon, or any bird for that matter!
ReplyDeleteThat first picture is wonderful Grace, such a fantastic sky..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteDramatically beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove puffy clouds.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't get much more beautiful than that!

That is my kind of sky. I love it when we get clouds like that. They make spectacular photos as yours prove. That top shot is my favorite. That's a prize winner.
ReplyDeleteI love the wide open spaces where the sky meets the sea Grace.
ReplyDeleteSuperbes vues, joli post !
ReplyDeleteHow lucky are you to live so close to this beautiful beach. The photos are outstanding - especially the top one.
ReplyDeleteClouds are always interesting to look at, great photos.
ReplyDeleteThis is like a parade of cloud art - especially the first photo. Beautiful beach scenes.
ReplyDeleteoh these are beautiful...i espeically love the first shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Grace - the sky, clouds and sunsets can be an endless source of photos.
ReplyDeleteYes, beautiful shots, Grace, I just love the ocean...
ReplyDeleteReally love your second take. Rolling clouds and surf.
ReplyDeleteAmazing sky, superb images!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully composed shots!!
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks so inviting!
ReplyDeleteGreat clouds nice depths in the first photo.
ReplyDeleteTrès belles photos. C'est vrai que les nuages venant de la mer sont magnifiques et mystérieux par contre je n'ai jamais vu d'oiseau de proie au-dessus de la mer, c'est étonnant, belle journée à toi :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, the sky in the second one is amazing.
ReplyDeleteOoooohhh. Those clouds are nice. I was driving today and saw terrific clouds, kind of like these, but I never stopped to take a photo. When I got where I was going, it was less interesting than I expected, so I had cloud photo failure and destination photo failure.
ReplyDeleteSuch interesting cloud formations !
ReplyDeleteWhat a comfortable sky and a quiet beach !!!
ReplyDeleteI like it.
Marvelous skies, G!
