Autumn Beach

Autumn at the Beach

While the temperatures have dropped
and the locals shiver
early morning
and again at night

the light is mellow
and evening comes in early
closing the day before six pm

Autumn at the beach
is still a wonderful place to be

the seagulls think so....

the tourists know so...

the bird of paradise gloats
in its heaven

the pandanus fruit
looks edible...
and is
for goannas
and turkeys

Autumn at the beach
in Noosa
Queensland

Post Script.

I wrote this post a couple of weeks ago.

As it is less than two weeks now
'til the winter solstice
I suppose this post should be called
Winter at the Beach...

But
it really makes no difference
It is still
wonderful...
