~~~~~~~
~~~~~
lithe
(especially of a person’s body) thin, supple, and graceful.
~~~~~
Not sure that one can assess if these
beachgoers are supple or graceful from
these images…
…however they are both slim
which, in my opinion, the prime
ingredient of being lithe.

Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer
In 1963, Nat King Cole released his hit song,
Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer.
Lazy referred to those hot summer days before air conditioning,
hazy meant humid, and crazy was just the playful
innocence of youth in the summertime.

Lake Lucerne in 2016.
Like wise in June 2023 sunbathers enjoying
the sun in Copenhagen.
Both days were not that hot in our opinion
On the other hand…
December 15 , 2015 at Sydney’s…
…Manly Beach was hot.

RagTagChallenge-Bake
~~~~~
bake
cook (food) by dry heat without direct exposure to a flame,
typically in an oven.
The closest I have to the bake theme is sun bakers
~~~~~
Sun baking on Geelong’s
Eastern Beach
…and, on Manly Beach.
Some were preparing for their
day at the beach with
some sunscreen in order that they
would not bake in the sun.
