Some summer has appeared!
And the boats are out celebrating!
These boats are sailing the Port Phillip Bay waters near Dromana beach.
Sailing summer waves
Feeling fresh summer breezes
The thrill of outdoors

THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
AUTUMN is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter
AUTUMN whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key
AUTUMN is an introspective season, when stray thoughts of the mind dive into the mystique of the 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)

hope to see you also, thanks!
a lovely photo, fresh air and sunshine; could be a bit bumpy...
I hope that the wake from the power boat doesn't swamp the sailing watercraft...
Great shot!

Ah summer! What a delightful view as I look out the window at the snow coming down. Thanks for sharing. :)
Summer is fun. ^_^

Yes, summer's here in Newcastle too, but it doesn't feel too sure of itself yet. We're getting some deliciously refreshing breezes though, which I prefer to the heat, and which your shot captures.
Looks pretty choppy to me - I would have to choose between what comes with the breeze and probably
a hot-out-today situation! Nice shot!
Being outdoors is what's so brilliant about an Aussie summer, right? Unless it's 43 degrees ...
Love the splash of red! Although, come to think of it, I love ANY splash of red!!
Talking summer in the darkest winter is a morbid conversation.
I can dream summer any time.
Even though I live by the coast I have never really sailed a small sail boat. Never had one.
I love being out at sea in the summer, waving to sail boats.. Especially those with red sails in the sunset.
Looks windy! I miss ocean!
Red Is happiness, have a great week!
The sunlight on the water looks delicious.
To chilly here for boats had frost on the cars this morning but itis bright sunshine now. NICE TO SEE SOME RUBIES.
Have a good week.XXX Don My Ruby Tuesday 2 pics
So pretty...i like that. Happy RT!
There's something very special about a red sailboat!
Oh, so tempting and so beautiful! Miss the summer:(
Visiting for RT 2! Here's my share- hope you can stop by:)
