Another trip to Bridport.

And another Birthday for me today.

This is another area in Bridport and we got out and went for a short walk.  You can see the dingy just beyond that yellow sign I waited till it came further into shore as you can see in the second photo.




The seagulls were having a great old time there with the fish, they certainly kept me entertained.  Then I captured a tiny little wild flower in the last photo. 




You can see Bridport at the top of the map.

  2. Beautiful photos, beautiful sea. I found information that about 1,200 Croatians and their descendants live in Tasmania. The community has actively preserved its identity through social clubs, church and sports, and the largest number of Croatian immigrants is located in the capital city of Hobart. Kind regards from Croatia. Jasna

    1. Yes you are right, Jasna. When I went to school all those years ago we had several Croation girls there and I always mixed with other nationalities, my best friend in school was a Polish girl - now passed. I always went to private school and one of them was in Hobart :)

  8. What a lovely way to spend a birthday - exercise, fresh air and taking special photos. Much better than sitting inside and filling up on cake.

  9. A very happy birthday.
    I suppose that is a river mouth, quite an impressive opening.

    1. Thank you Andrew.
      Yes that is the mouth of a little river which for some reason doesn't seem to go far. It's called Trent Water - Hurst Creek.

  10. And a very Happy 2nd or is it your 3rd 21st!
    Looks like a good spot for fishing.
    What do you think of that people at Rottnest Island of the WA coast.
    Sometimes I think these people should have a sign on them - "C'On Great
    White" and get me - this weekend one - 4 1/2 Metre shark had a feast!
    It is Great White feeding ground!! Madness.

    Miserable weather here at Terrigal - last night your winter weather came
    and we froze. I go to bed a la Aka Eskimo style - ha ha.

    Cheers and warm drinks
    Colin

    1. It's beyond the 3rd 21st Colin.
      Thank you.
      Oh yes, some people just don't think when they get into the water, or they maybe think it won't happen to them. A youngish man with two little children and wife, he is now gone. R.I.P.
      Not cold here, beautiful weather but becoming cooler later this week apparently. I'm still in summer clothes :)

  22. A lovely way to mark a birthday — a return trip to Bridport paired with a relaxed walk sounds like exactly the kind of simple, memorable celebration that stays with you. Waiting for the dinghy to come closer also adds a nice sense of patience and attention to the moment, which makes the scene feel even more alive and personal.
