MY WORLD ~ Seen in Sydney

Turning into lobsters on a Sydney beach,



then feasting on them in a restaurant



and, for good measure, a lovely little old lady who, with her
arthritic hands, still makes these intricate swans from tiny
pieces of precisely folded paper.

  4. Doan

    what about the children you ask?
    Well, what about them? Are girl boobs worse than dangling man boobs with gross bellies as well?
    Children don't make a big deal of things like that unless adults instil prudish ideas into them.

    After all, God gave us all bodies.

  7. Strange how people to react to things we take for granted. Topless sunbathing is allowed on beaches everywhere in Australia.

  17. How does the little old lady do it? Very artistic, Arija. I never realised it is still warm in Sydney (We are entering summer - Northern Hemisphere - so are you entering winter? ) Have a wonderful day.

  18. Silly people who think lobsters are nice, when they are older, they get skin cancer. One of my colleagues has a cancerous mole at her chin. She has it removed and has a plaster on. She says she has 660 students and 40 staff asking her if she fell down.

  19. Lovely inviting photos! The swans are really very beautiful, and how clever of this lady to make them with her arthritic hand.
    Thanks for your visit. My daughter will leave for Australia next week. I'll miss her and the family.

  26. looka sa you have a nice time in Sydney.

    Thanks for the great comment in my entry. Luckily the board walk was not slippery. But as you mentioned, I am greatful I did not meet anyone on it.

  27. Isn't that amazing. The lady who makes the swans. That is amazing.

    I have seen Japanese people make some very detailed things from folded sheets of paper. I don't remember swans.

    I looked the the beach babes. Twice.

    Here where I live, the local police would be thrilled for a chance to place them under arrest. The charge would be indecent exposure but nobody would believe it.

    Living is so difficult these days.
    The cost of breathing is so high.
    When I think how it used to be
    I think I'm gonna cry.

  32. Might tasty, them lobstahs.

    As for topless bathers, geez, folks need to get out more. I recall my year in Germany when nude hikers were not uncommon. Amerikans are weird folks: no nudity on TV, but you can watch bloody gore by the hour.
