A beach day

The next few days are forecast to be brutally hot - and on such days, relief can only be found by being underwater.  Having said that, the prospect of sunburn on the bald patch is never good.  I just can't seem to work out how to wear a hat while snorkelling!




The cool waters off the SE coast of Australia are full of life - it's just that much of it seems to swim off before I can press the shutter button!

You can find more pictures from around the world at Our World Tuesday.  SM

  14. Wonderful underwater shots! If you figure out the hat problem, let me know. I've tried snorkeling with a hat on and (big surprise) it doesn't work well!

  19. That does look cool. I hope you enjoyed cooling off in it. Although I live on a beautiful coastline, you need to wear a wet suit to snorkel or scuba dive.
