Strong Wind Warning

Today has been sunny but cold and we also had a strong wind warning, so I decided to go out and take some photos.

I started at the foreshore, which is this picture, then I went to Fly Point at Nelson Bay and then on to Little Beach. I will post those photos over the next couple of days.

Our side of the bay is usually sheltered but because there were westerly winds the normally calm water on the foreshore had waves today.

The boats were bobbing up and down on the water.

One good thing about today is that I got my washing dry in double quick time. I had to put lots more pegs on it though to make sure it didn't fly off the line.

A fabulous capture of the boats bobbing up and down on those lovely waves.

We are having such high winds and storms atm that the golfcourse closed yesterday.

[Lesley]

This shot clearly shows the strength of the wind. Nice one!

We were in the mountains yesterday and it was windy and freezing - it does look choppy

[Suzanne]

Great movement in this.

[Valerie Chesney]

Such a super capture of the wild weather & those boats are sue bearing the brunt.

Babs, thank you so very much for commenting on my hospital photos & for your warm & very caring messages, I so appreciate them. Lovely to be home & improving. 😊

@tinley23 I managed to stay on my feet

I like the boats with all of their angles...

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That does look choppy- definitely not the time to take out that skiff if you have a weak stomach! Good catch- and so glad the laundry stayed put!

@ankers70 @boxplayer @beryl @joansmor @wakelys @rensala @sangwann @briaan @montserrat @nigelrogers @quietpurplehaze @merrelyn @k9photo @fishers @mittens @carolmw @craftymeg @365projectorgchristine @tunia @jeremyccc @corinnec @happypat @randystreat @kvphoto @carole_sandford @pyrrhula @radiogirl @robz @olivetreeann @jgpittenger Thanks. This side of the bay is usually sheltered, it is only on the Fingal Bay and Anna Bay side that is on the 'ocean proper' side, but due to westerly winds it is so cold and very windy. Windy again today too.

@frodob ha ha I could taste the salt on my lips and I had to keep cleaning the lens of my camera too.

@quietpurplehaze My lips were very salty when I got home.

@pusspup The washing managed to stay on the line until it was dry. I had lots of pegs on it though.

[Rick]

The boats would really be bouncing in those waves. Great shot.

[Babs]

@happysnaps Aw Valerie what a sweet comment. You take care and regain your strength.

[Babs]

@rickster549 They were, I hope they are anchored down strongly, or they will be blown away.

[Kathy A]

It certainly does look choppy out there
