Snow in June surprised even the Canadians.
In 2007, this sight surprised me.
Dubai, in October, was still hotter

RagTagChallenge-Mermaid
~~~~~
mermaid
a mythical sea creature with the head and trunk of
a woman and the tail of a fish, conventionally depicted
as beautiful and with long flowing golden hair.
Initially, I thought that this swimmer looked a little
like a mermaid struggling in the wild surf of the day.
Zooming in, however, it appears that again I was incorrect…
…as I was when I first viewed this statue
of a girl in a wetsuit from
Vancouver’s,
Stanley Park.
