its summer, its cold

I have stayed away from walking amongst the coastal rocks. The  cold, south-westerly winds have been continual and persistent.  Some of the gusts  have been  close to gale force. I haven't been making many photos along the littoral zone as I have been walking in the bushland  to shelter from the wind. 

It was only occasionally during  the late spring month of November  that I would  do the coastal littoral zone walk with a camera in the late afternoon: --- the conditions were that  the wind had dropped, it was overcast, and there was some warmth. 

There have been only one or two hot days, when the temperature was in the 30s even though it has been late spring and early summer. 

 I should have been  out scoping for, and doing some,   large format photo sessions in the field.   But it  just hasn't happened.  Late format photography and gale force winds  is not a fruitful combination.
