Sepia Saturday 234 : 28 June 2014


First of all let me say thank you to everyone for their good wishes last week - we had a wonderful day which will live long in our memory. I regret to say that I am still in recovery mode, so please accept my apologies if this call is towards the perfunctory end of the scale. For Sepia Saturday 234 our theme image - which comes from the University of Washington Flickr stream - shows a number of people with their feet in the water. For those looking for a theme to follow there are lakes, there are reflections, there are our old friends the hats again .... there are all sorts of possibilities. Just post your post on or around Saturday 28th June 2014 and then link your post to the list below. Sepian Wendy Mathias very kindly suggested a number of possible themes and I will be incorporating many of these into our calls in the weeks to come (I have kept the theme for 236, Wendy, but changed the image as the one you suggested was a little small). Don't forget, anyone can suggest a theme by e-mailing me or leaving a suggestion on our Facebook page. So here are the next two Sepia Saturday themes for you to think about:-

235 : Greetings and handshakes : pipes and politicians

236 : Hair, drying, beauty, nails, strange headgear.

That is for the future. For now, I am going back to bed and I am going to leave you with Sepia Saturday 234 to reflect upon.

Yes, standing in shallow water, or floating on a tube...the joys of cool wading!

I was surprised I had so many pictures of my family wading in water one way and another!

Paddling and picnics are my takes on this week's prompt.

I had to narrow it down to people paddling in their outdoor clothes (as per prompt), otherwise I wouldn’t be able to stop!

I originally was going to post something with "reflections" but ended up updating a post with "waders" that I did a few years ago (but not for Sepia Saturday).

Reflections - literal and figurative this week.

I'll take this cue to show a favorite summertime photo and postcard.

I was going to do something about the wonderful "finds" people have made while squishing around in the wet sand with their feet, but then nostalgia got in the way.

Sorry if I've done this twice! Anyway - I'm back! I think it has probably been a year or so. Had the perfect picture to motivate me to participate.

Just a few waders and some comments.

You're not going to get me in the water this time of year around here. :)

And the following four are taken from Visvanath Cakravarti's Camatkara Candrika, a 300 year old scripture that talks about the love meeting of Radha and Krishna:
