Last summer was a bad summer
for fires in Australia.
However, there is rarely a summer when
we don’t have scenes like this
by fires somewhere in our dry land.

Fashion of all sorts.
A drawing from my Mother-in-law’s school sketch book.
Her daughters did not know she had this until
after she passed away a couple of years ago.
And it seems only a few years ago that
London model Twiggy,
caused a furore at the Melbourne Cup
wearing a mini skirt two whole inches
above the knee.
Hemlines have certainly changed since 1965.
Fashion on the gold fields in mid 1800s.
Being married anywhere is now fashionable.
Bride’s dresses have changed considerably
since the late 1970s and mid 80s.
In my twenties I did like to dress formally for a night out.
Sadly I don’t go out as much and formally has
taken on a whole new meaning.
Fashion on a Rivera beach, Nice to be precise,
is much more relaxed.
I believe this beautiful Athabaskan
coat and hood was for formal wear.

Word-of-Day-Challenge-Lady
~~~~~
lady
a polite or formal way of referring to a woman.
Recently I posted a photo of
some young ladies paddling
on Lake Lucerne.
These young ladies (and gents) were cooling down
at Sydney’s Manly Beach a few years ago.
The youngest did not ask Mum’s permission
to cool down. -)

I may e stretching the meaning of the word
but I think this fountain was bubbling.
Little sister was enjoying toe cool water
while big sister being possibly a first born
was worried about what Mum might say
when she noticed.

Legs and feet…
…something common…
…to many of earth’s creatures.
Something else common…
…is the fact that…
…some legs and feet…
…are more pleasing to the eye than others.
Another commonality…
…is that legs and feet can reflect the size…
…of the body being supported.

FOWChallenge-Skimp
~~~~~
skimp
expend or use less time, money, or material on something
than is necessary in an attempt to economize.
“don’t skimp on insurance when you book your holidays”
a fashionably short or revealing garment.
“she wore a yellow skimp”
Not many years ago this hemline…
…would have shocked everyone.
Now it is rather conservative.
The bikini clad sun lovers are borderline skimpy
by today’s standards.
As I don’t shoot many people in skimpy attire,
I had too search photos like this to find…
to find any skimpy or not so skimpy clad
beach goers at Sydney’s Manly Beach.

My first thoughts were of regular limbs such as…
sun baking legs, and…
performing arms.
Then today we visited two of
New Zealand’s Waitomo Caves and I
could not help but think these
stalactites and stalagmites
looked a bit like limbs stretching out
to greet each other
