Making Waves
Waves in pastel, from a recent painting.
Bunker Bay, south of Perth, had the most amazing turquoise sets of waves.
Even though they were breaking close to shore and dumping swimmers in a most unceremonious way, everyone was having fun.
Beautifully formed waves is one reason why Yallingup, just round the Cape from BB, is so popular.

Surfers come here for the long, rolling sets.
They’re certainly a brave bunch, considering the size of the waves.
And that’s not the only thing to take into account when you enter the water.
This fellow was swimming around the ankles of children right at the shoreline.
It was a Wobbegong or Carpet Shark, and was about 1.3 mtrs long.
The kids and the shark crossed paths, he went casually on his way up the beach, the kids ran onto the beach squealing!
You never know what you’ll find in a wave…
