The thermometer in my car showed 2 degrees Celsius this morning and it was pretty windy, especially right by the sea. I took a few photos and my ears and fingers ached from the cold.
I have to admit: I don't like the cold!
Suddenly I spotted two elderly women who put on their bathing suits and then went swimming in the North Sea!
In all honesty, I'm still impressed and I wish I would be half as brave!

A couple inviting ponds on Beartooth Pass that would nicely quench summer's heat.
I suspect some mosquitoes would enjoy some swimmers as well. Would be tempting regardless.
Enjoy a wonderful Wednesday!
Hello my Flickr friends!
Today is a blue day at Color My World Daily Group and music is the theme at Looking close on Friday fabulous Group.
I’m super busy lately (at work and at home !!) so I had to take this emergency picture this evening… As you can imagine (and I’m pretty much sure you already figured it out) I’m rather bad at planning… and this weekend we have a swimming pool installation in my backyard so I’m beyond busy lol
As for my picture I had to improvised. We do have plenty of music related items at my house, but they are mainly very technical and electronic items which, in my eyes, don’t fit well for the theme. I don’t see “music” when looking at all my husband audio machines in his studio…. But yet, I not a musical person at all. My ear is all but musical.
Wish me luck with our swimming pool installation !! See you later my friends and have a beautiful day !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

Common merganser (female) swimming quickly in the stream. Barely time for two photos, this one was the best.
So late in the year for ducklings this size. A brood at the Vienna water Gardens Great Yarmouth last week.
Surf Safety Matters - As tempting as the beaches look, surf safety is something we can’t afford to ignore. Some of the latest stats from Royal Surf Lifesaving Australia (2024) really hit home for me.
Some key stats from last year:
* 323 drowning deaths in Australia (with a population of just 27M)
* 30% were 65 years or older
* 86% of coastal drownings were male
* Coastal areas saw the most drownings, followed by inland waterways & swimming pools (half in backyard pools)
* Over half of coastal drownings happened more than 1km away from any surf lifesaving service
These numbers are more than just statistics though - they represent real people with families, friends, and lives. Fellow humans. Each one is a tragedy.
As a 65+ male who spends a lot of time exploring remote coastal areas, quite often alone (& swimming with no SLS services for km's), these numbers hit close to home. A sobering reminder that nature is powerful and can never be underestimated.
The message is simple. Stay aware, stay safe, and respect the water. That could apply to anyone anywhere, just replace "water" with "nature"!
Wishing everyone a safe and mindful week! Thanks for your comments, they are always greatly appreciated! 😊

Thank you for your visit, comments and favours, very much appreciated.
For those who like puffins: Lundey, a small island near Húsavík, is called puffin island. We made a boat trip and watched thousands of these lovely sea birds.
These hot pools look inviting but the scalding water can cause severe injury or death in moments. Every year people are injured in the thermal features of the park. This hot pool is in the West Thumb Geyser Basin.
