All of the blues..



A few last beach shots to warm the cockles of your Northern Hemisphere hearts before I head back into the city today. I haven't enhanced the colours in any way, that's exactly how they were. The turquoise water looking back to the beach from out on the mole below on City Beach is so beautifully clear. Below to the right you can see the sleek new City of Perth Surf Life Saving Club last seen here. This is also the same beach that I took my new summer header shot from on Sunday. I did hear a rumour that WA is going to have a cooler, wetter summer this year, I hope so but will believe it when it happens! Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe..

  7. I can hear all the moaning from the northlands down here in Florida (of course, we're colder than a well-digger's well...you know.) Love the photos...and the colors are stunning. We get these colors in the Florida Panhandle and on the west coast...not so much on the east coast.

    BTW, I've heard about the "cockles" of one's heart for years but never thought much about them. When I checked, it seems no one's really sure what the phrase means. It possibly came about because parts of the heart resemble the cockles of the sea, "any bivalve mollusk of the genus Cardium, having somewhat heart-shaped, radially ribbed valves..."

    That may be more than you want to know but I thought I'd start off your new year with a little educational fun. But you probably knew all that! :)

  9. Oh those glorious blues.... the sea, the sky, the beach umbrella in the first pic, the lifeguard station in the second pic, I want to be there on the beach RIGHT NOW! Meanwhile here in Canada... well, I won't bore you with the weather conditions here, just too awful to contemplate.

  18. Awww, so beautiful, Grace!
    I was on the phone with a colleague and she pointed out, "beautiful rainbow!".
    5 minutes later lighting and heavy rain, the first winterstorm 2018 is on the way (will likely hit South and Midlle though). Now thick clouds, so awww, such a sight here!

  19. Beautiful. I've visited Fremantle quite a few times now but I'm always blown away by the colours of the ocean and the sky.

  20. The colours are beautiful. I was taken by the colour of the Indian Ocean when we visited WA. Great contrast to the photos from northern hemisphere blogs.
