Winter Walk on Rosebud Pier

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The air now may be laden with winter chills, but a brave soul rugged up and took a "relaxing" walk along Rosebud pier on Port Phillip Bay, Mornington Peninsula.
Energising!
Exhilerating!
Can't wait for a hot chocolate!

That's My World Tuesday #XXXV

Layered chunks of warmth
Take a walk on the wild side
A pumped winter walk

Michelle Johnson said...: Your picture transports me back to the Virginia Beach pier my husband and I went for our honeymoon. Except we went in the summer not winter. Your words are fitting for the coldness that shows through this pic. Have a great day.; June 9, 2009 4:25 AM

Sweet Repose said...: I just can't believe it's winter there already, seemed like just yesterday everyone was in shorts at the beach...

However, you can tell that summer isn't quite here yet, 80 today, but quite chilly tonight...that's OK though, good for sleeping.

We are a bit sick of the rain though, but it sure did make my strawberries plump right up...yumm...wish I could send ya a bowl.

Have a great week friend and big warm hugs!

I´m sitting here (summer) and look at winter I am not used to it yet (Internet)

Karen said...: That looks like quite a nice place to take a walk, even if it's cold ...invigorating ... a great place to bring your senses alive.
