You've been working with the limits of the camera: speed, ISO, F/S; good catch!

It's a great shot, capturing the height and the excitement. I remember parasailing myself in Turkey.

Hi VF,pasted my reply here for your convenience:

hi Uncle VF,thanks for your feedback.No,it is not possible to shelter our kids from all such things,in the same way we sometimes cant protect them from the vices of this world.But then this HFMD is not the kind of disease you will develop immunity against if you get it once.you can get it once,twice,even more,and there are different strains to this virus.The common one means the child will get fever,(maybe even not),blisters on hand,foot,mouth(thats how you get the name),and painful rashes/ulcers in the throat.which will make the child very very uncomfortable.There is another strain,ent70/75 i cant remember that can cause death.No cure,no vaccine.Only for the kid to ride it through himself with his antibodies.For me,it is also on top of the fact that i am alone to cope with 2.I have nowhere to send Ian if Caleb is infected,this HFMD is quite contagious.In 2001,an epidemic broke out here that killed 8 children.Means both my boys will prob get infected,and plus i have to teach.I am not sure if my parents will allow me into their house if my boys get infected as it may pass on to my nieces,whom my mom visits weekly.Then i wont be able to teach my students who are having their exams within these few weeks.Thats,why i am so edgy abt it i guess:)
