Hello dear readers, and dear Sue(Nan’s Farm-Inside Out)…. here I am on the beach, yeah !! yes a long 18 months since I’ve been able to feel the warm sand between my toes…. not hot enough for swim yet, but I could smell the fresh sea air…… In my excitement I took all of these photos (and More). The sun was shining and it was a pleasant 23’C.

**Jan Mitchellβs Waterfront Bollards
No visitor to Geelongβs magnificent waterfront precinct can miss the whimsical bollards that stretch from Rippleside to Limeburners Point. Painted by local artist Jan Mitchell, the bollards have become an icon of Geelong. Sadly Jan is no longer with us but she has left a lasting legacy which will put a smile on just about anyone who comes face to face with these unique and much loved pieces of public art.

Oh, Ivor, these photos are lovely. I love the bollards. Australian beaches are so superior to ours. I hope Victoria does not visit, she won’t want to come back!
I’m glad you managed a beach day and I hope the warm sand between your toes was as good as it used to be. π

Oh my 18 months! I live near a very touristy and popular beach, and I guess I’m about 7 miles away from the ocean but I rarely go to it LOL but not because I don’t want to. Just people. And Sun.
