Description

Feeling a little nostalgic today so I drove down to a place where I spent many summers during my childhood. I can still hear the kids screaming "Here comes uncle Luke" (my dad) and everyone would jump into the water 'cause he was gonna take anyone within reach in with him!! Wow, that water was cold but of course, back then, we would swim until our lips were blue... Oh well, I hope you all enjoy this photo. I sure enjoyed being there. Thanks for all the kind words about my other photos and I wish you all many happy memories to come!

Aw...what a lovely memory that is. And such a beautiful place as well. I dont think id be too tempted to swim there though. I dont know why but i get a feeling there are many many many watersnakes there. [img]http://img379.imageshack.us/img379/6499/ahhh1gv.gif[/img] Beautiful capture by the way. Have a wonderful day! #:o) Hey...that rhymed, LOL.

I can not go swimming unless the temp outside is 98 or more. the reflections are beautiful and an excellent capture. the creek where I went swimming as a kid was always muddy color from clay
