“Ocean waves, cleaved by the sailor’s vessel, do in turn cut and shape the sailor. The rough whitecaps, turbid with air, scour like a course grit, while the glass of still water, soothes with a fine grain.

The ocean shapes the soul, the roughest seas at times scoring and harming the product, and the smooth at times making too little difference. A man like a sculpture must endure the whitecaps of life to make any way toward his goal.

But later in life the soft strop of gentle water imparts the reflecting shine of wisdom, on the finished sculpture of life’s voyager.” ~N. Parkison

It is Summer holidays and a 2 m surf brought the surfers out in droves. To me it is water ballet. It is also about gravity.

Surfing is a surface water sport in which an individual, a surfer (or two in tandem surfing), uses a board to ride on the forward section, or face, of a moving wave of water, which usually carries the surfer towards the shore. Water temperature about 68 (F) [20 C].

Hope you're not sick of the surfing images.......

Another from this years Surfest held at Merewether Beach, NSW; Australia last week.

Here the surfer shows some skill grabbing his board before re-entering the water and finishing off his ride.

Thanks for any comments, views or favorites.

Hope you all have a wonderful day and week!!

American Wigeon:

Quiet lakes and wetlands come alive with the breezy whistle of the American Wigeon, a dabbling duck with pizzazz. Breeding males have a green eye patch and a conspicuous white crown, earning them the nickname "baldpate." Females are brushed in warm browns with a gray-brown head and a smudge around the eye. Noisy groups congregate during fall and winter, plucking plants with their short gooselike bill from wetlands and fields or nibbling plants from the water's surface. Despite being common their populations are declining.

The oldest American Wigeon reported was at least 21 years and 4 months old. It was originally banded in Washington State in 1952 and shot in Nebraska in 1973.

A classic: the surfer parks his classic camper on the beach, for a little surfing session.
