A FINE WINTER'S AFTERNOON
Late this afternoon we went to Sorrento just for a couple of hours. Sometimes it is a nice break away from home just to go for a coffee and a wander.
There are so many places just half an hours drive away from home.
After wandering up and down the Main Street going in and out of various shops we got a take away coffee and went to watch the Queenscliff ferry come in.
Of course the seagulls stopped by for a visit in case we had something to feed them as we got out of the car
Here comes the ferry. If we had have been there earlier we would have caught the ferry to Queenscliff but it was just too late in the afternoon to make it worthwhile. We will save that for another day and go mid morning.
Such a pretty spot.
Love this shot under the pier
We then went to the Sorrento back (ocean) beach.Lots of little family groups having fun
Then off to our favourite spot Murrays Lookout to see the sunset.Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Hi Alison we have a beach house at Rye and I love visiting Sorrento but we don't go much in winter I hate the cold. Take care Carol
Love your photos Alison. Just tripped by by accident.
Sugar, that looks like a wonderful place to wanted off to. I especially like the color of the water under the pier. I've always said the best pictures on the web come from women in California and Australia, sweetpea! Must be something to do with the light.........

Hi Alison,
I love Sorrento, the family holiday house used to be there, since needing a bigger one for the growing family my parents recently sold it and bought a bigger one in Rye... Mum and dad are just about to move there for good..
Hope you have been well.

Gorgeous beach photos Alison! What a beautiful spot.
Hi Alison
Beautiful photos!
Sorrento has always been one of my favourite spots, we used to holiday there every years when we were kids, now look at me I live 20 minutes away
I love that little bit of sun on the horizon shot the most, everything is so beautiful though. We're lucky here in Oz.
What a lovely day. Your photos are very nice.
The husband and I used to take little day trips all of the time. Got to get back to that, thanks for the nudge!
I just loooooove the beach post..Your pictures look amazing..I wish I was at the beach right now...

What a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing it.
Beautiful shots Alison....a fab weekend by the looks, xv.
Oh my heavens the water under that pier looks just heavenly! I want the weekend to come!
One of my favourite places to visit too Alison. I sell my jewellery at Antipodes gallery in the main street. Look forward to meeting you on the 8th.
Dear Allison,
I love that shot under the pier. You should sell this photograph on Etsy and it would make wonderful note cards as well.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Had lots of company this summer so I did not blog much. Have a great day.

Alison, I think you've just spent the perfect afternoon.....or so it seems to one who lives in a "land locked" situation, like me. It takes us hours, and hours to reach a beach. Your photos are stunning. How peaceful to watch the sun set over the ocean. Thanks for taking us along.
Best Wishes,
Kay
Such a gorgeous spot! I do love the beach and yep, that "under the pier" shot is amazingly beautiful!

What beautiful pictures! It looks like a lovely place.
I love Sorrento, you're so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of our state :)
The ferry brings back memories, we caught it with the dog in the car once, when he was a puppy - it's been so long since we've done that ferry ride!
This post left me very peaceful. I love the blue of the water under the pier.
Gee Alison...That ferry looks like it could be the ferry coming from martha's vineyard to cape cod!!! It's so hard to beleive that in this end of the world the temp is 90 degrees & you are having your winter there! stay warm...:) chri
