Weekly Photo Challenge: Threshold

How to get this in a photo, with no explanations is going to be hard, so I’m not going to try. These boys tried and tried and succeeded in staying up on as the surfed. I spit second of time was captured,  Re-surfing from under the wave

A threshold is a point of entering; that point just before a new beginning — that split-second moment in time, full of anticipation. All the hard work is over; relief is palpable.

Wednesday around the World – hair

It was a cold day here in Finland, but I had to step outside in spite of it. ( Kirkkonummi today, kind a cold. No wish to go out, but … I have to.
Clear skies: -14C Temperature+ windfactor: -23C Sunrise at: 08:58 Sun down: 16:09)

As you know ladies these are the big decisions, I had my hair done today. Last time I went back to being more blond , well now I took the opposite direction.
