coastal textures

The  winds along the coast of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula have been gale force before and since Xmas --south-westerlies with gusts that are often over  50 kph. So I have avoided walking along the coastal rocks  apart from  brief excursions:

These coastal excursions have  been in the afternoon with Maleko spite of the winds  as I avoid walking in the local bush to avoid the brown snakes. 

An exception to the above routine is walking with Kayla along Esplanade Beach from Kent Reserve to the Granite Island causeway in the early morning. This is  either  prior to the wind coming up or when the coastal winds are  lighter.   

Then the focus is on the textures of the seaweed and  the sand.
