Manly Beach

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.

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

Tuesday Photo Challenge

Heat

~~~~~

Our largest source of Heat,

the Sun,

drives many people to our beaches

during the summer months.

These sun lovers on and along Lake Lucerne had

shed their day wear for beach attire on a day

which most of us thought was pleasant but not hot.

However, I’m sure there a plenty who would

have a chuckle at me saying a day

was chilly, temperature under 20 degrees Celsius,

and cold under 10 degrees.

All a matter of perspective.

this week’s challenge

Letter-H

H is for Happy

~~~~~

From Manly, Sydney, last year.

On a hot day little sister did not care how

she cooled down.

A very small part of a larger scene,

but a very happy group of beach goers.

Even the Council was making us feel happy.

 

This young lady was thoroughly

enjoying applying sun screen

Or was it just life in general?

Again a small part of a large scene.

Beginning with Letter-B

Words beginning with B…

A Beach…

Manly Beach in Sydney, to be precise.

 

Our Bird of Paradise.

A railway Bridge over Geelong’s Moorabool Street.

  

Finally, while in Cairns a few years ago

we decided to have Breakfast with the Lions.

No!  I don’t this type of breakfast on a regular basis.

However, while we scoffed away a delicious breakfast

about ten metres away, 10 -15 lions were making

it known that they could smell the food

and were also hungry.

Commencing with one…

of our sunrises, thanks to our eastern facing windows.

First time I have lived in a house which can see the sun rise

and to a lesser degree set.

These storm clouds flooded Geelong earlier this year.

Twenty minutes before the storm hit, Number 2 son drove

through an underpass which was seen with cars

floating along the street on the television that night.
