Take the Plunge

Lola and I enjoyed a late afternoon walk, and though the sun was less than brilliant, the temperature was very comfortable. We headed for our favorite nearby watering hole. A lively game of volleyball was underway, teenage boys and girls were leaping and stretching to take their shots. Several families had tempting picnic lunches spread on the grass but Lola pulled us onward to the water. The lake's skin was smooth and green and there's an earthy smell as we trudge across wet sand. The shrill screams of volleyball players are interspersed by the deep, resonant sploosh of divers and it is all I can do to hold Lola back while snapping this shot.
