18/11/2015 – #SnapSydney

It’s #SnapSydney day today when 1000’s of Sydneysiders will be posting photos celebrating life in this amazing city. I really feel we are the luckiest people alive starting off a stunning day with this swim. It was warm, sunny and sparkling down in our favourite corner of the world today! What a day… to be ‘snapping’ the greatest activity, in the most beautiful suburb with the most awesome people!

These lovely ladies are beautiful inside and out! Annie, Sophie and Lucy out for the early swim.

Jim and Guy, love these guys too!

JK and Nick’s son share a high five!

Nick’s family come down to watch their dad join in with this daily adventure.

A few loveable old dudes get ready for the plunge…

There was a guy with a big camera down at Shelly Beach today taking photos of Professor Ros Higgins for a documentary. Did anyone speak to him today?

Not so much commentary today. Let the photos show our ahhh…mazing swim!

Our lovely John Kelly lit up in a halo of light!

Kerry goes for it.

Sparkles and Ted

Belinda, Lips, Peta, Kerry and Sparkles.

Bruce, looking fit and happy back at shore.

Gorgeous Jenny embracing life!

Brave Cathy was back swimming a day after horrendous jelly fish stings. Nothing will stop her. Don’t let it stop you either.

Shelly, Lips and Henry

Lips insisted on getting a photo of me and Henry!

If anyone wants to talk to someone who can help them with struggles, issues and stuff’…this is lovely Michaela who is a Spiritual Healer and has a workshop on this Saturday in Manly.

Karen Sander, in the newspaper last Sunday.

 Jenny Holmes swam with The Forster Turtles last week and loved it. Here she is with Russell the Cuddler

and a funny one to finish off! Turbo and Sarah. (Thanks for the flower Lesbubbs!)
