Another fine day in Anglesea.<\/p>\n
It was overcast with a few sunny breaks this morning when we woke up. So
\nmany times I’ve been down here and woken up to an overcast sky and wondered
\nwhat it was going to do. I always live in hope that it will burn off to a
\nfine sunny aternoon. But most times it doesn’t. It was a bit hopeful today
\nbecause the sunny breaks kept appearing and it had an air of warmth about
\nit. But when we got to the beach around 3:30, it was still quite cool when
\nthe sun went behind a clound and the inland sky was quite overcast. It was
\npleasant enough so we decided to stay. The tide fairly high and running in.<\/p>\n
Between 5 and 5:30, the tide turned and the sky became completely clear.
\nThere is a change to the sound of the waves after the tide turned. It becomes
\ngentler and subtly quiter. Combined with the clear sky and drop in the wind
\nit had an overall feeling of gentleness. A feeling that the day was coming
\nto an end and was winding down.<\/p>\n
It all made me think how the personality of the beach changes during the
\nday and from day to day. There is nothing like the beach down here when the
\ntide is a low ebb. It has a lazy feel to it. Especially if it is also sunny.
\nThe tide turning in late afternoon has a different feeling. Perhaps there
\nis a subconscious fear that the advancing tide will keep coming. When it turns,
\nthere is relief. Nature is still in control and its patterns are still reliable.
\nShe has protected rather than harming us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
