Dragon boat by maggiemae

Dragon boat

Plenty of family photos and opportunities today. This was a dragon boat practicing - perhaps they didn’t know the races were two days ago! Purposely out of focus.

Showing granddaughter the ducks - I was carrying her and stepped on to what I thought was a solid board raft. But it moved - outwards! My legs were being stretched beyond comfort! I yelled for help but had to drop Sabrina on the shore while I coped with what could be called the splits! ………

Three good things:
1. A young boy around jumped into the water and drew the raft closer to the shore and I was saved from what could have been a serious problem!
2. Another crisis - need to use the toilet rather urgently and the car was stopped indefinitely on the way to the apartment because of high traffic blocking! But I got there…phew!
3. Avocado is in great supply!
Quite cool and mysterious.

Awesome shot

A clever twist to keep it out of focus. Very illustrative of the hazy days of summer.

Your three good things are an eclectic collection today. Crises averted are always good!

Something good came out of it. I love the blur here. quick thinking to get Sabrina to solid ground and that you were ok....in more ways than one - (2)!.

@bruni She burst into tears but stopped very soon. I didn't burst into tears but really felt stretched!

PS Funny story! I'm glad you saved the baby. Are your muscles sore after performing the splits?

@joysfocus I think I ripped a bit more muscle actually!
