early Christmas morning,
my walk by Dromana beach revealed a lone Christmas hat on the sea wall...

drink photos only...

the man in yellow was photographing his beer
- as seen on my Monday Mellow Yellows blog HERE...
I thought that was weird enough - given the beautiful view from Portsea Hotel of Port Phillip Bay...
But then, while the man in yellow checked his photo,
this couple, right behind him did the same thing with their drinks...
Christmas Day yesterday had some rather quirky sights...


sea view
sparkling with longing for
smiling attention

summer sands of yesterday...

No... This is not a view of our current summer...
It is still waiting to happen on my Mornington Peninsula...
(Apparently, there is going to be a burst of summer on Christmas Day...)
However, at this time in 2014, Dromana beach was the sunny and summery place to be...

The road in the lower portion of the scene leads to Portsea
and a left turn from the intersection leads to the coast road to Dromana...
