Shellharbour on a Saturday
Picnickers
Fisherpeople
Loungers on the pub-restaurant deck
Children fossicking the rockpools
Weekend drivers
Bikini-clad maidens
All enjoying the blue on blue
The breeze
The last rays of summer sun

Give me some water
A couple of stinking hot days and I’ve only had one dip this year, so time to take a day off and enjoy a swim at one of my favourite places, Wattamolla.
Blue, blue sky
Green, salty water
I dive beneath
Into water warm
Burst the surface
Into sun I float
Gazing up at
Swaying gums
My blues washed away
On this lifegiving day
Karekare
Black sand
Black as mud
Sea spray wisps
From pummelling sea
Footprints recede
Into majestic cliffs
Weathered driftwood
Like dinosaur bones
Bleached against black
Sensual sea
Smell, feel, taste
Invigorating
My soul to soar
Drawfed as am I
By such magnificence
Static and Silence
