Sand Instead of Snow

As it is summer here in Australia at the moment there is definitely no snow, but we do have plenty of sand where I live.

The sand is very white so it could be mistaken for snow sometimes.

Very white sand .. a real contrast to our black sand that we have on our coastal beaches .. What a great tree..

[Maggiemae]

What beautiful sand- why go to Tahiti!

[Kathy A]

What an amazing Christmas tree

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such a lovely little tree - so traditional in all the sand !

[Ethel]

A great idea for an Ozzie Christmas shot. I wonder if you ever get homesick for snow.

[Casablanca]

That's great fun! No snow in Yorkshire at the moment or anywhere else for that matter. It's raining a lot!

Babs l would prefer sand over snow

[Peter]

Brilliant festive decoration Babs standing out well against the white sand:)

[Valerie Chesney]

This is fantastic..

[Joan Robillard]

Fun shot- crop out the ocean and you probably could have fooled us.

[Jane Morley]

I knew this was yours as I scrolled it before I saw your name. Great idea.

[Peter H]

Just slightly odd to see these things in sand! 😀

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely shot. I agree with Peter about the Christmas decoration on the sand.

[Lou Ann]

[carol white]

A lovely fun capture

[Sylvia du Toit]

[Babs]

@julzmaioro Yes our sand here is very white. I have seen some photos of your black sand in New Zealand. I also remember seeing black sand when we visited the Isle of Wight in the UK once.

@maggiemae @kjarn @beryl @pcoulson @happysnaps @joansmor @chimfa @peadar @sangwann @louannwarren @kwind @ludwigsdiana @mittens @merrelyn @craftymeg @gijsje @carolmw @sdutoit Thanks. I got one or two strange looks from people as I walked along the beach carrying the Christmas tree. ha ha. and even stranger looks once I started taking photos of it.

@ethelperry Definitely not Ethel. I don't miss snow at all. I don't miss serious cold either.

@casablanca I don't miss snow, but we could do with some of your rain please.

@bkbinthecity I prefer sand over snow too Brian.

@s4sayer Yes he is known as Santa in Oz.

[Pat Knowles]

So pretty Babs...this simple little tree looks wonderful there in the sand.

[JackieR]

Lovely

[Rob Z]

That's very nice - I haven't ever seen anything like this on our beaches. :)

[haskar]

Sand or snow ... the most important is the festive atmosphere. Lovely tree.

[Babs]

@robz That's because you haven't seen a loony like me walking along the beach carrying a Christmas tree ha ha. I took this photo just before the men in white coats found me.

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This is a really fun juxtaposition of a your summer environment and a symbol of the season. fav

[Islandgirl]

Wow this does look like snow....................what a lovely find!

[Hope D Jennings]

Really fabulous!!!

[Rob Z]

@onewing LOL Babs!!! No wonder I haven't seen one!! You did make me laugh...... And you have really earned the right for it to be on the TP and PP. :)

[Monique]

Wonderful shot

[Lee]

Very different from the weather here.

[Margo]
