Surfer


I have long admired the work of fellow bloggers in capturing the essence of the sea -- Peter at Sunshine Coast Daily and Lucy at Bermuda Daily Photo. I wanted so much to get some of their magic but the seaside remains an alien space that defeats me most of the time. Over the next week I'll show you what I managed.

Musing:
From The Surfer by Judith Wright
"Take the big roller’s shoulder, speed and serve;
come to the long beach home like a gull diving."

  1. By George I think she's done it!

    A ripper Joan! The absolute essence is right there on the body board!

  2. Nice photo. We enjoy holidaying by the sea. No surfers though.

  3. I do like that Judith Wright poem: my daughter recited it for some competition somewhere eons ago. Gets the Australian psyche pinned down, I think.

    Peter may be biased - but the surfer is darned good!

Windy August

Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale.  Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.

The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull!  But there is something of interest in the image.  These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today.  On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.
