I forget exactly which day this happened, but it was during my school placement, so either the last week in August or the first in September.

I'd just gotten out of school for the day and had taken the 112 tram to Fitzroy Street, where I was waiting to catch the 96 tram to go home.

Here I am!

At the corner of Park and Fitzroy. Waiting for the 96 to St Kilda Beach. Stop number 134. Very nice sign.

There's my tram! Ooh, it's one of the really new, super fancy ones. Get excited!

Here's the inside of my tram. It's pretty empty.

So I began the second leg of my trip home. But when I got off the tram, I thought to myself, "Today is a beautiful day! It really feels like spring! Let's go to the beach and build a sandcastle!"

So off I went.

But it wasn't really THAT warm, so I didn't want to get actually wet or anything, so I didn't go that close to the water. The result was that I was working with only somewhat moist sand. But I think I still built a pretty nifty hill/castle.

Then I thought that I really ought to get a picture of the builder with her wonderful creation. But as there was no one else around, I was forced to try a self-photo. I'm really bad at those. Here are just a few of my attempts.

And that was my sandcastle. Ta-da!

I like the thing on top, looks like a creature with big eyes guarding your castle.
Very creative use of the materials at hand.

I like how you put the shells on the end of the stick.

It reminds me of Dan's creation in homeroom using pistachio shells and grape stems (grapevine?).
