I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

As long as the jet ski isn't sinking, I wouldn't worry about it:) Happy MYM!
Two is right but three is over loaded I guess.
Looks like everyone wants to ride at the same time ... since it is winter in Central TX USA, and rainy ... I have to use my imagination to conjure up warmth in the water. :)
Visiting from MYM ...
