Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Even when the weather is still wintry, just a drop of sunlight will draw people out to walk by the sea at Dromana beach, Mornington Peninsula

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
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)

What a lovely photo of two women walking by the beach. It does look chilly there, but they look like they are enjoying the fresh air. The red jacket does enrich the photo.
It is so hot here that it is difficult to imagine two people walking in the cold.
Nice shot though!
I live in a tropical country so it's rare that we experience chilly winds. This should be a breath of fresh air for me. Have a great week ahead.Please check my entry for RUBYTUESDAY! here's the link

The sea and sky are so pretty I can see why people would want to walk there.
That red jacket really does stand out, doesn't it?
It's Australia, but could easily be Ireland.
A walk on the beach would be nice. One could clear their head for some fresh writing for sure. Hope all is well.
I love winter walks
beautiful photo
Very nice pic, it does look chilly!
A walk on the beach at anytime of the year is the best. Two friends together and a splash of color make it even better.
I like those walks in the very brisk weather. I used to like running in it too.
Of course it is too hot here to walk except early in the mornings.
Happy RT, I am reviewing restaurants again today!

I like walking and it's always nice to do it by the water:) Happy RT!
Beautiful vista. Sea as far as the eye can see.
Just a bit of that cold breeze would be very welcomed around here!! at least the thought is refreshing,thanks!
I like people who wear red because I do not :)
My RT
The dramatic sky is almost as inviting as sunshine!
Dramatic ocean and sky are a lovely backdrop for your 'ruby' find this week ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
They walk by the sea,
two elders, one clad in red,
the other in grey.
