Friday’s Footprints – Black River Beach

Driftwood at Black River Beach

I am sure I can’t keep saying “This is one of my favourite places” on all of these posts… But we really love driving about 40 minutes west of us to take a stroll on this rugged beach, which rarely has another soul on it.

Mid summer is probably different but we reserve our jaunts for the off season.

Its a great place to visit to relax, collect some shells, play about with the camera, paddle in the ocean if its not too cold and see what odd things the sea has washed up that day.

Clueless. Anyone shed some light?

I like the spikey grasses

I totally love driftwood. But there are limits to what I can fit in the car to decorate my garden with

I wasn’t allowed to bring this home.

It can be beautifully moody

Almost tropical in colour!

The sand has artistic tendencies

As does the water colour of the river

Tea trees up-river stain the water

We have a ridiculous number of these shells at home! I do plan to use them to edge my herb garden one of these days

Can’t have too many?

Always time for a selfie

Even a winters day can be superb

A great place to visit in north-west Tasmania

Cheers
