Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ For me, it is natural to be drawn to the character, colours, textures and moods of water.
I especially love the early morning sea mists and the blur of dawning light.
If I wish to relax and refresh, I am naturally drawn to the sea.
Fortunately, on the Mornington Peninsula, I am surrounded by the waters of Port Phillip Bay on one side and the Westernport Bay waters on the other.
I have views of Port Phillip from my verandah.
This photo is taken early morning at Balnarring beach on Westernport Bay, when horses love to exercise along the shores.

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)

Lovely, peaceful photo. I love looking at water, although I don't really like being in it!
What a glorious way to spend time. I love the sea,
Namaste! Love this peaceful, beautiful shot. Makes me miss the ocean though. I'm not sure it is natural to live in the middle of a continent.

great shot for natural!
The photograph captures the natural beauty of the morning so well. Looks like a great place to ride horses too.
Beautiful capture.
Happy weekend!
