The colors of beach

I love watching the ocean, the waves, changing colors of blue and green. The warm sand underneath my toes. Sun.

The Garrapata State Beach Park

The refreshing Big Sur Coast Of California With Waves Crashing Against Rocky Shores all glowing at Garrapata State Beach Park

The Grotto is perhaps the most enchanting of all the rock formations in this part of Australia along the Great Ocean Road . Part-blowhole, part-archway, part-cave, it offers a peaceful place to enjoy the sea views and soak in the wonderful things nature is capable of.

Standing about halfway up the cliff from the sea level, the geological formation is reachable via a decked staircase that leads down from the viewing platform at the top. You can either view the wonder from above, or head down and explore it at eye-level.

Inside, the Grotto is filled with smooth boulders and serene rock pools that have been carved out of the limestone. For the best view, look into the Grotto from the lower viewing platform, where you can see the horizon, the pools, and the jutting rock formations in one go.

Bay of Martyrs

Ocean waves

Sydney~7 ~Bondi Beach

In Sydney, you have to see to Bondi Beach, right, after a busy day of seeing sights in the city we decided to see if for ourselves. We ended up staying there only for few hours. We sat watching the waves and surfers. I don’t know how they do it… the surfers.

the surfers caught my eye …for a reason

Then came the clouds.

and slowly passed the beach

We left the beach with the rainbow behind us.

As I few posts back I said, that I will start this year with sunshine and fond memories of my last visit to Florida until my new visit, where I will create new sunny memories. I love the sun, beaches, ocean. Nature. Trees, birds, butterflies. I am not a winter person even though I live here in the north. Lets sail into the sunset!

We ended the year in blue and white tones, Lets start this year of wit a splash of warm colors.
