All alone in the big blue sea..



On the way home yesterday we stopped by the beach to admire the gorgeous colour variations in the ocean. I couldn't help wondering what the chap above, floating in the shallows, his fishing rod set, was hoping to catch. After a bit of Googling I now know that in the shallow sandy areas between reefs, as above, there is whiting and tailor to be caught and in autumn if you are lucky, salmon.. who knew! It was around the 39C point when I took these shots, I really hope he was covered in sunblock! Back to the car and the air-conditioning pronto 😎 Happy weekend, take care and stay safe.. P.s. can you see him there below!

  2. Please let me get there!
    Rain here and is also wind. The thermometer says it's 4 degrees, but the feeling temperature is -4!
    Have a great weekend, Grace!

  3. He'll have earned any fish he manages to catch! I heard the report from the Perth Test Match and they said it was 40 degrees - not much fun to be had running about in that temperature.

  4. Lovely colors in these photos. The temperature does seem a bit too warm to be out on the water, but the water must keep him cool. Just wonder if there might be fish hunting him?

  5. Looks like he's sitting in a good spot. Hopefully he caught something cos fishing here in Summer is usually really hard due to so many people out on the water.

  10. What he needs to make things exciting is for a great white shark to show up.

  12. You weren't dressed for a swim? No one on the beach and he is looking out to sea. You could have taken a nice refreshing skinny dip.
