Discovery

Walking along the beach at Cape Woolamai is always full of majesty and beauty. Sometimes though, it's the small things you find that are the most delightful.

Hooded Plovers are endangered but there is a concerted effort to protect them. It's such a privalege to see these very cute birds as they skip over the sand. They're very skittish and we have to keep our distance.

This lovely little sea anemone in one of the rock pools. It's a very rough beach and you don't tend to see these. 

However, on the rocks at the end of the beach is the mass of mussels and limpits.

Hot days in January

I hope you all survived the FOUR days of above 40C this week. There weren't many visitors to the Studio and I did appreciate the effort made by those that did brave the heat. It's only January!

Anyway, I did start the week very well with an overnight stay in Portsea with hubby and friends. A lovely spot their family has just near the Portsea Pub. (You know the Portsea pub....the "HOW MUCH does two beers and two lemon lime and bitters COST" pub!)

We had a lovely walk along the beach and enjoyed the views of the bay, houses, water and structures. Lovely and cool!
