A beach walk

On another lovely autumn day we drove to Parsons Beach, about 15 minutes from home.
Initially it didn't look very promising.

But we were there for a walk, not a swim, so I relaxed and surveyed the vast expanse of sand and water stretching for miles before us.

It was a steep walk down. I think Steve thought this next shot was an amusing photo.

Once down on the smooth, hard sand it was an enchanting vista - both ahead of us and behind.

There were not many people about save for a family and later, some backpackers walking the Heysen Trail, of which this beach forms part.

A lunchtime snack...

 ... some more sea-gazing...

 ...then the climb back to the car.

A peaceful autumn interlude.
