Summertime

It is the first day of summer in Australia today and what better way to spend summer than walking on the beach.

The weather is warming up too and it has been a rather hot day today.

Sorry I have been a bit absent from 365 lately, but we are having a rather busy time here. I will catch up as soon as I can.

Thanks to everyone who have commented on my photos over the last few days, I am slowly catching up though.

I am sat here writing this message wearing my overcoat and scarf, it is bitter outside, then I look at your photograph, I say no more.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Stop teasing us in the UK Babs !! looking at this when we have a cold and icy morning -- but at least the sun is shining brightly this morning !

[Mandy]

Perfect composition for the beginning of summer. It has warmed me up no end in the middle of our winter.

It might be shinning brightly, but it is still bitter cold.

I have to confess to the sin of envy!

A lovely composition and love those strong colours. We could do with a bit of your warm weather!

Nice image Babs. We've had a foul weather day today. Cold winds and rain making yesterdays snow slushy and horrible. Winters coming. For us at least. Enjoy your summer 😊😊
