Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Spring is slowly unfurling. And last Sunday, the first waves of warm weather descended.
Here, at Dromana beach on the Mornington Peninsula, many wandered to express their individual
joie de vivre.

Well-screened in white hat
She dances in heady worlds
Far far somewhere else

He browses the news
Time to... hangs near his left arm
He spies Court drama...

Mischief throws some sand
Thrill seeking dares the challenge
Joy waits in limbo

Older brother ducks
Face swiftly buries in sand
Beach drama begins
~
Sliced togetherness
Enjoying new beach weather
Solo joie de vivre

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Great choice for your ABC post today! Nice to see spring by the water images as we move into the fall.
The shot could have been taken anywhere - certainly around the shores I've frequented.
Nice picture of this Australian beach. There will be no crocs as in North Queensland, I suppose. I also like your poem!
A lovely family scene dont you think?
Thanks so much for sharing!
happy days are here again!
Ah yes, joy is where you find it...
I love the look on the little boy's face as he JOYFULLY flings the sand in the air.
Priceless.
Bear((( )))
Joy is what we need to live a little better!
Charming images and poem! I'm hanging onto 'Joy waits in limbo.' for awhile. Great 'j' post--thanks for sharing your spring as we stumble toward autumn. :O/
Very oroginal interpretaion of the j and very sweet images.
I wish i was at the beach.
good weatehr is so meaningful for everyone - nice pic

Looks like everyone was having such fun along the beach. It's always uplifting to see children enjoying themselves.
Joie de vivre! What a great word! What a great thing! No one expresses it the way a child does!
