Difficult to tell in this photo but the wind was whipping at probably 50+ MPH as a storm front came through. Though no rain fell in this area, the sand was blowing fiercely creating an eerie landscape.

Captured the ripples in Medano Creek as the sun escaped for the day in Colorado.

Happy Tuesday. : )

ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK

Nothing seems to be slowing these tourist from a good time,

This is a close-up photo of patterns sculpted in the sand by flowing water at Clam Harbour Beach. The pitted scattering was created by a subsequent rain shower.

Today we start looking at some aspects of life and leisure in Bridport. This little town of 1,600 people sits on the north east coast of Tasmania. To the north is Bass Strait. To the north east is Flinders Island.

 

In summer its numbers swell as holiday makers enjoy the beaches, the boating and the golf courses. The Barnbougle Golf Links provide two outstanding links courses, The Dunes and Lost Farm. Both have been listed by Gold Digest Magazine as in the top 100 courses in the world. It is now the main tourist attraction in the area. We'll come to those later.

 

But for the next few days we'll take a look at the boating side of Bridport, both for work and play.

Even though the name suggests a dark beach, you won’t see much in the way of blackness. Black Rock Sands is an open, wide beach with fine sands. The name comes from the area to the west of the beach dominated by a large, multi-coloured headland rock, low-tide caves and rock pools, an area rich in marine life. Natural history is also a feature of the local sand dunes, which have been declared a ‘Site of Special Scientific Interest’. Unusually, you can drive onto the beach here – so it’s a popular spot not just for picnickers and sandcastle builders, but also for motor boats and water bikes which have a special zone designated for their use. There are also dog restrictions on the beach.

52 Week Theme Challenge:

38:52, Tell a story using a mirror

 

My take on the theme (and well I didn't have the creative brain to do anything else)! Zoom to the eyes - this is my story:)

 

I've been watching these lovely birds for weeks. All this time in the sandy muck and they still look fabulous! Their grooming habits are fabulously fun to watch, much more fun than watching a human in front of a mirror ;D

 

Be well everyone! And oh so many thanks for the visit:)

Another view of the Garden of the Gods, this one from the valley floor.

The 'Sand Motor' is a unique experiment. An artificial peninsula of sand should automatically maintain the beaches up north. The idea is that the Gulf Stream moves the sand up north, a slow process that is carefully monitored by this pole. Notice the tiny figure underneath.
