You can almost feel the pull of the tide as it drags the water over the sand. Great pattern – and love the Dicky…always!! Great shot, Mel.

The many different faces of “Dicky’” continues to amaze me. The leading lines with such a tranquil backdrop.
Ann Van Breemen
A beautiful seascape, Mel, as usual. I love the receding wave. I still haven’t been able to do that with mine yet.:)
Mel Brackstone replied
I’ve never seen waves like these anywhere else but Dicky beach, Ann. Might have something to do with the way the foam is beaten up by the wreck.
Richard George
Such a photogenic subject captured and presented beautifully. You bring out the best Mel.

What a wonderful Aussie call out to us here in the States the day before we celebrate our Independence Day by referring to “Stars & Stripes”! THANK YOU!!
