Last weekend, Joel and I made a quick visit to Pearses Bay near Blairgowrie. The bay remains remarkably untouched and little visited, a quiet stretch of coastline where rugged limestone cliffs frame the ocean and narrow pathways lead down to the sand. The sound of waves breaking against the rocks echoes through the coves, and on a calm day the water takes on a striking clarity, with hues of turquoise blending into the deep blue of Bass Strait. It is the kind of place where one feels both secluded and restored, far from the busier beaches nearby.
On returning, I found myself once again immersed in a heavy workload. My professional commitments have increased significantly over the past month, which has made me reflect on how quickly circumstances can shift. Not long ago, I was contemplating the idea of semi-retirement. In some ways, the widespread acceptance of telehealth by those living in regional areas has reshaped the practice of medicine—sometimes into a model that can feel reduced to what one might easily search for online. To add to the challenge, I have also endured a series of flu infections contracted from the nursing homes I visit.

Oh my goodness, flu can be brutal. The sky and waves are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYeah it is taking a toll on me
DeleteLife gets in the way of pleasure and relaxation at times.
ReplyDeleteYeah pushes me into the perspective
Delete...a beautiful image, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tom
DeleteThis is a remarkable shore which you caught with great light and a dramatic sky. Lovely. But it has an empty and hostile look. The nearest civilization seems a long way off.
ReplyDelete200 metres away actually
DeleteBeautiful! A nice start of my day!
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely.
ReplyDeleteSorry to read you have had several bouts of flue. Guess it's hard not to catch where you go - take care and hopefully you can build up your immune system quickly.
It is really getting to me
DeleteStunning :-D
ReplyDeleteLooks indeed dramatic but as always are the colors stunning. Hope the flu goes away soon.
ReplyDeleteYou got busier and you also got the flu. That’s an unhappy convergence.
ReplyDeleteThe colors here are mesmerizing and so very beautiful. But I'm very sad to read that you've had the flu recurring. I suppose it is an occupational hazard but it is a rugged one that affects so much -- the degree to which you can work or do fun activities to escape the stress, not to mention how you feel. Sending wishes for full healing and fast!
ReplyDeleteYou show us so much beauty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky and a lovely view! Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteUn lugar de gran belleza que enamora a cualquiera por su belleza, aunque por lo que nos dices cuando el mar se pone bravo hay que respetar.
ReplyDeleteYo estuve unos días con molestias en garganta y mucosidad, lo atribuyo a que bajaron bruscamente las temperaturas.
Saludos.
Nature untouched, so beautiful.
