MY WORLD ~ Seal Bay, Eyre Peninsular

Sorry this is a long shot, but what a place to chill out! The sea
breeze in your fur, a sundrenched rock all to yourself....


















Oh jeeze, there's an other guy muscling in on the beach.


















Ah, bliss. all serene again and we can settle down for some
serious relaxing.




All this just a little north of last week's post. Do enlarge them
for a bit of detail.

  3. Dina,

    They were dashed far away down a steep cliff,very big and unwelcoming but kind of cute.
    Next weel God willing, a really exciting bit of the coast.

  4. Oh to be there; the waters are beautiful beyond description!
    When I lived in San Francisco, there were seals, and they were such fun to watch with their antics and their dominant behaviours, arguing over that foot of sandy beach!
    Lovely!

    XXOO!!

  10. These are stunning shots and fun dialogue. I love the shots from your world that you show us.

    Thanks for naming my bush on my today's flower post for me. You are absolutely correct and I had forgotten the name. You are so great at that.

    The pieris japonica is in a protected area near the front of my house and has done well for the 10 years since I planted it. I didn't remember when it set its buds and was afraid they were too early, although I know it's among the first early spring blooms.

    Our night temps last week got down to 16 F ( - 8.8 C) and our last Frost date isn't until mid to late April. Occasionally it gets even colder than it was last week but a single digit F night temps are about as cold as we ever get. I know this bush usually blooms by mid March so maybe the buds will be alright.

  14. They are at ease, lying in the sun and sand. It makes me realize it is elephant calving season in California, maybe we need to go see.

  15. I'm all for having a sun-drenched rock all to myself for a little peaceful sunbathing! And the view is absolutely beautiful. Thanks Arija. Janice.

  18. Is this the seal equivalent of a penthouse? :)

  25. Oh no dear Arija I don't ever want you to be sick. I don't ever want you to feel unwell.

    I don't want that to happen.

    I wish the heat in Australia would disapear it sounds like pure torture and so hard on your heart. You need new pills and don't step outside. Oh Arija I don't want you to get sick dear friend.

    I am being selfish, I love you. I know we can't help it when we are sick.

    I love you Arija.

    xoxo

  30. That's an incredible tidal pool, and great seal pics too. Seals are hilarious--like the young men & women jockeying for position at the bar...
