This pile of cuttlefish shells was at the western end of Dep's Beach on the southern Fleurieu Peninsula. I stumbled upon them whilst I was on a late afternoon poodlewalk with Kayla and Maleko. I presume the shells had been collected and piled up by kids during the recent school holidays.
I came across the shells around the time of this excursion to Granite Island. The shells were packed up between the rocks in deep shade.
This picture was made on a recent afternoon poodlewalk with Maleko during October 2019. Maleko was looking for golf balls and I was wandering around the rocks with a camera. The location is just east of Kings Beach Rd on the eastern edge of Waitpinga.
It was a calm evening, with soft light and low tide. This combination doesn't happen very often. So I spend some time sitting quietly the rocks. I haven't been able to return to the location since because the tides have been too high.
I wandered around exploring the western edge of Deps Beach whilst waiting for Suzanne to finish chatting with a friend one Sunday morning. I started photographing the various strips of seaweed lying in the sand with my makeshift macro camera:
I was fascinated by the colour of these seaweed strips in the early morning light. I had never seen this type of seaweed before. It was all over the sand at the western edge of the beach.

I was on an early morning poodlewalk with Kayla. It was towards the end of summer.
At Deps Beach:
Deps Beach is roughly halfway between Kings Beach and Petrel Cove. I was on an early morning poodlewalk with Kayla.
