Cooling Off

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments and favs on yesterday's 3D orb picture. Sorry I can't reply individually because there were so many comments.

I attached a link to how to do 3D orb photos so I look forward to seeing your photos on the subject soon.

I haven't done a Friday people day since the new year so I thought today I would post this one.

It has been such a hot few days here in New South Wales and there is probably no better way of cooling down from the heat of the day than on giant flamingo at the beach.

This family looked so relaxed in the evening light. It is still 29 degrees C (84f) this evening, but I believe a cool change is on its way. Hope it arrives before bedtime.

This photo is warming me up. I just need it with the freezing rain outside my window... Love it

[Sam]

You should have jumped into the water too Babs!

[Julienne Jones]

Love it! It's great to see people having fun in the water especially when it's so hot

[Peter]

Super fun image with lovely composition and colour Babs, by the way woke this morning to the sight of the ground white over and more snow forecast today, cold but at least the sky is blue and the sun is shinning:)

[sally agnew]

That looks really appealing right now. Really hot and humid here as well :)

[Debra]

Nice capture of your hot weather fun. It's the opposite here, in the teens(f*)

[Chris K]

looks idyllic Babs. Hope your cool change comes. we have had some wonderful rain overnight and now all the crickets are singing with joy.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Now that's what I call floating in style! Fun catch!

[Nicole Campbell]

That looks like a great way to cool off.

[Myrna O'Hara]

What fun.

[Sheralee S]

That's a fun shot!

[Merrelyn]

I think floating flamingos must have been popular gifts this year. We didn't even make a maximum of 29.

[Margo Sayer]

A swim in warm climes would be a welcome change from today's high winds..with more forecast.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cute and fun capture.

[Fisher Family]

A lovely shot, showing conditions completely contrasting with the cold here!

Pretty Flamingo-Manfred Mann.

[Pyrrhula]

They are playing nice in this beautiful blue sea.

[Sue]

What a huge inflatable. Nothing like that here, we have snow

[Simply Amanda]

Hilariously fun!

[Helen Jane]

You are hoping for cool and I am hoping for a bit more warmth! Your Friday people certainly look happy and relaxed.

[Annie D]

great way to spend a summer evening

[Taffy]

Thanks for the link...I will check it out. Your people shot captures the hot weather and what families do to help their kids cool off.

[Yao RL]

The duck looks like working too hard with her head down. haha,

[Tammy]

What a happy looking huge fun float. Love that hot pink color!

[Marnie]

Looks like they're having lots of fun. Too flaming cold down here today to even contemplate the beach.

[Babs]

@gigiflower Didn't want to get the camera wet Sam.

[Babs]

@pcoulson Thanks Peter. Not so sure I could cope with snow these days.

[Babs]

@hermann We keep expecting the cool change, but it still hasn't arrived.

[Babs]

@cruiser Still no rain here yet

[Babs]

@s4sayer Still just a bit to hot and humid here though. would welcome slightly cooler weather.

[Babs]

@365projectorgsebgritt Indeed. Brought back memories of the 60s

[Babs]

@helenhall Just a little bit cooler would be nice. The high 30s and low 40s are just a bit too much.

[Babs]

@cherrymartina @julienne1 @dridsdale @olivetreeann @nicolecampbell @sailingmusic @bella_ss @merrelyn @mittens @fishers @tonygig @seattlite @dawnee @jesperani @carolmw @pyrrhula @suesouthwood @alophoto @annied @taffy @yaorenliu @tabarlett Still pretty hot here, so no respite from the heat and humidity. We keep expecting a cool change and thunder but it keeps missing us.

[Babs]

@golftragic Too flaming hot to contemplate the beach here Marnie.

[ChristineL]

Looks like a lovely way to relax at the end of the day, I could do with one of those just to have a lie down.

[*lynn]

nice shot, such cool flamingo!

[Stephanie]

Looks like exactly the right thing to do in the heat... just relax and drift around on a pink flamingo. Sorry to read about the heat though... it's quite the opposite here Babs.. gloves and hats and coats weather.
