Another downpour...

Remember we had a downpour a few weeks back and I showed you milky puddles on the beach? We had another one last night... it rained and rained and rained...

Washing down the cliffs, over the promenade and down the walls... leaving white trails of milky limestone....

I love the milky puddles on the beach as a result;



and the chalky water even created a zebra beach!



Hmmm... I can see a quilt in that....

I had no clue that the rains washed the limestone like that, either! Isn't nature wonderful.

I didn't realise limestone did that either. I think it would take more than rain to wash our granite away!
