Enjoying the water

Water water everywhere!

I've always lived near water...and enjoyed the fun of playing it it, and eventually learning to swim as well.  Here are some family shots of water play...(not sepia but from the past 25+ years!)

 Me and 2 little grands making sand castles at Clearwater FL

Same grands with my oldest son at Siesta Key, FL

My youngest son jumping into water off a sailboat outside of Seattle WA

My three sons and myself on my 70th, outside the restaurant after a feast, overlooking the Inland Waterway, FL (and don't miss my grandson in blue photo bombing us!)


I'm sharing this with Sepia Saturday this week! Check out this link to see what others came up with related to this photo!

SEPIA SATURDAY 406 : Saturday 17 February 2018

Manly Swimming Pool Brisbane 1936

SWIMMING : WATER : STANDING AROUND : HANGING AROUND

Like all our February prompt images, the one for Sepia Saturday 406 (post your posts on or around Saturday 17th February) comes from the Flickr Commons collection of the State Library of Queensland. There are the obvious theme possibilities of swimming and water available, but you might also want to investigate the possibilities of standing around and - like the child at the end of the diving board - hanging around.

Today's Quote:

WORD FOR THE DAY Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in the quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow.
