A gentle wander along the Port Melbourne foreshore with Joel brought an unexpected delight. Beneath the bridge, scattered across the shallow seabed like fallen stars, lay dozens of starfish basking in the clear water. We both stopped in wonder, peering over the railing and pointing out each new discovery. Before long, cameras were in hand and we were happily photographing them, as excited as children stumbling upon a hidden treasure. The quiet afternoon, the glimmering sea, and those living stars below made the simple stroll feel like a small adventure.

ReplyDeleteIt feels raw
DeleteIt seems very dark under the bridge. I hope the starfish get an opportunity to bask in the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteIt is constantly moving back into the sea
