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.

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.

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.

I have stayed with the coast for this week’s

MidWeek Madness Challenge.

Hardly need to caption this image…but it is the 12 Apostles.

 

Gibson Steps beach…about ten minutes east of the Apostles..

Surfing Torquay.

wave

a long body of water curling into an arched form
and breaking on the shore

~~~~~

As  you  can see by my definition

of ‘wave’ mine are all

wet ones today.

All Torquay Beach waves.

A vey rough day a while back.

Surfing Torquay

 

And again…

Torquay wipe out.

I’m sure this would look more like a small tsunami

if the tourists were not admiring

the surf at Torquay
