Winter Contrasts

Early winter morning waters at Dromana beach, Mornington Peninsula
I took this photo right after the beach grader had cleaned and levelled the sand!

Watery Wednesday #144

Warm light but cool air
Rugged yet gentle waters
Action but stillness

MIST ON THE OCEAN

Mist on the ocean,
Mist on the sea,
Mist on the meadow,
Mist on the tree;

Dew on the grasses,
Dew on the rose,
Dew in the garden,
Dew on my clothes;

All of this wetness,
It’s plain to see,
Promises blessings
For you and me!
