You're not walking, you're swimming--moving your arms and legs.It does matter, however, how shallow water is. That's where people get hurt. They dive in or jump in and don't tuck. Always tuck.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-67108135127568951722011-07-11T17:44:26.009-04:002011-07-11T17:44:26.009-04:00Nanina your teapot and tomatoes put my flowers to ...Nanina your teapot and tomatoes put my flowers to shame.

Still smarting over that one, but being victorious over the fish, snakes and lakeweeds put me back on track. I loved your reflective tea cup.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-70440030580370594952011-07-11T17:35:18.118-04:002011-07-11T17:35:18.118-04:00It was quite a victorious moment for me Bill.

I intend to make lake swimming a regular part of summer. Thankfully though, it rained today and I couldn't meet the "gang."

Since Blogger changed the design to this horrible clean, unfriendly and vast something...<br /><br />What a great photo! Made me smile. You look like a lake conqueror! Absolutely admirable for me because I learned swimming when I was 13 and I'm still afraid of swimming in deep water.<br />And wonderful paintings.

It's always a knock in the gut to loose a client or job, but you have such a positive outlook, taking life's waves full on and seem to be enjoying the surf.<br /><br />Ah...the blue in the first picture is delightful. The picture is dreamy. And number two again has that mystical quality you excel at...capturing the spiritual essence of flowers. You are a master at combining line with color and achieving energy.<br /><br />Keep on getting wet!<br /><br />NaninaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-81089213378583810922011-07-11T15:17:49.118-04:002011-07-11T15:17:49.118-04:00Hi Linda

Yuk, I thought for 12 years and I was ashamed of my yukky attitude. The lake was a luxury I was not taking advantage of. Shame on me for being a stupid decked pool snob. That attitude changed yesterday. It was truly delightful. --And meeting the neighbors was good too.

Anyway my mom always thought a true swimmer was one who could brave the lake.. My kids only knew the pool until they were old enough to get in the ocean on their own...
