the action of staying where one is or delaying action
until a particular time or event.

Waiting for a wave.

 

Our pets are always waiting expectantly for a snack.

Our Vet waits a moment before he tells us

they need to lose weight.

An open-air wedding may be different but,

it is also subject to the elements of the minute.

 

The table cloth and the Bride’s and bridesmaid’s dresses

were billowing slightly as the breeze gusted.

I would really struggle to find any bikini-clad

sun lovers in Victoria this time of year.

However, I as in Switzerland’s Lake Lucerne

I’m sure there would be plenty

soaking up the sun as this group did.

Here Comes the Bride…

outdoor fun

 existing, happening, or used outside,
not inside a building 

~~~~~

In pre-pandemic days I enjoyed…

…photographing surfers.

I say enjoyed because going to the beach…

…broke the 5-kilometre rule in force during the pandemic…

…which would have incurred…

…a fine of up to AUD$5,000 if caught breaching rules.

Come think of it there were probably very few surfers

who could legally surf during that period anyway.

wall

a continuous vertical brick or stone structure
that encloses or divides an area of land.

I was so certain that we were approaching

a solid grey wall and very relieved

to discover it was the expected water

at Botswana’s

Nata Bird Sanctuary.

 

A drywall fence in the

Moorabool Valley.

 

A wall of water crashes to shore at Torquay.

Not my best surfing shot, however,

the sea was as rough as I have seen it

Focussing mostly…

 

…on the sea this week.

With very peaceful sunrises…

…over Geelong’s

Corio Bay.

Even a relatively peaceful shot of

the area known as the Gibson steps…

 

…especially given that Bass Strait has a rough reputation.

And with weather coming directly from the polar ice cap

this past week has been a good week for ‘office work’.

Finally, two very calm and peaceful horses
