Ah. Summer. "Our beach." Swimming, rolling, paddling in near frigid temps. Looks tropical. Sudden intakes of breath common. Need to pee. Thoughts of prayers by agnostics. Abundant marine life, humans rank low on population scale. Newfoundland.

it does look tropical, I am well aware though of the water any further than two inches down being practically freezing!
just dont pee in a borrowed wetsuit.
Claire - sage advice!
Hmmmm... looks like people I know down there! What a great shot of your 'hideaway' cove. Claire's right. It does look tropical.
Hi Michael, yes, I was pleased some friends (and I should acknowledge them as the photographer!) got this shot of us at the beach. Alas, fall & all its commitments have come on fast - I haven't been out for a couple of weeks!
