at Dep's Beach

This image  of a detail of the  coastal granite rock was made on an early  morning  poodle walk with Kayla and Ari: 

We had a morning of gentle winter sunlight amidst all the  winter rains.  It  didn't last as  it started  raining now latter in the day.  It is also very cold. More winter storms are expected. 

at Goolwa Beach

From a late afternoon poodle walk  on Goolwa Beach,  the Fleurieu Peninsula, early June,  the first month of winter:

Goolwa Beach is near the mouth of the River Murray. 

None of these patterns are around on the beaches around Rosetta Head, where we live. Nor do we get the late afternoon winter light on the sandy beaches .
