Last days of summer
Sleep is a land far away
Water's the moment

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)

Oh this makes me miss the beach, but that was a lifetime ago.
Lovely! I love the colors of the water.
Gemma, this is a pretty beach for sure. I can see why you like it there. Too bad summer is about over for you.
