Blowing at the beach

2.6 metre swell warnings were posted at the entrance to the beach today. The dogs didn’t care about the blustery conditions and ran playing together, finding new friends and having a terrific time, but they were savvy enough to stay clear of the receding high tide.

I’ve walked here for many years and never seen it so blowy.

Waves rolling in and wind whipping the spray back out to sea

It was so windy it was hard to hold the camera still but there was so much beach debris, mainly marooned algae, I was determined to get a few pictures.

And Jack made a new friend.

Yes, great pictures. I love the translucent green colour of the underside of a breaking wave.

  Hi Ama, yes it’s a beautiful colour and the sea was full of light as it reared up before crashing onto the rocks. By the way, I love your site and follow all your posts, great poetry.

  Thanks Mary. I got quite a few images and hope to use something in my printing in the future. Next time when the wind isn’t howling I’ll take some better close up ones.
