First ever underwater photo - I suspect it's not the last

[Mira]

I got an Olympus watertight camera. I could not help myself because I so love the light play in a pool. This is the first one I took, Mom is on the left, and the rest are "others". The camera turned to movie mode suddenly, and I could not get it back to normal shooting, the sun was blinding me, and as usual I'm clueless.

Hope you like this, I do!

1. you'll have fun with this

Though I might prefer sharks and stuff like that!

3. Sharks are more dangerous.

But then, maybe not.

4. Very unusual perspective for your Mom..

What did she think of it?

5. Actually, if you were 88

and looked like that, what would you think?
She thought it was pretty normal looking, just amazing that I could do take the picture.
She laughed into my computer, asked how on earth is it possible that no water gets into the camera, and I said I don't know.
Then, today, she posed on purpose, even for a film of her swimming.

6. That is so neat

but making a note to self, hide Mira's camera before getting in any pool she is in. lol Now you need some kids under the age of 10. They will ham it up for you and love every minute of it.
