An eerie calm came over the landscape as thunder rumbled in the distance.
It was early evening after an oppressively hot, humid day. Clouds built up on the horizon - a sign of relief from what has been an extremely dry, hot June. Each day I visit this pond after work. I swim in the creek nearby, or get into the pond. The creek water feels better because it is much cooler and does not have the mossy scum buildup. I can hardly wait for the shorter days and cooler temperatures of fall!

Cool! I wanted to swim in this pond!
It's as warm as bath water. Huge snapping turtles live in the pond, too. But the water still feels good after a hot day.
The best bathing that can only be - that in the evening, when the water is still warm, but no longer hot air!
Nice place to relax & reflect.
Yes it is -- Thank you!
I imagine the atmosphere there is very quiet, good post friends
Thank you!
So you finally got the rain you've been asking for?
Good news...
Just a little rain.
Beautiful landscape! We had a day just like that a few days back at our home in the countryside in Canada. Went for a swim in the pond too. There's something so great about these simple aspects of nature and the country. Love it, great post.
I agree! Nature offers so much, but it's so often overlooked. I LOVE a good swim in a pond or creek on hot days! Following. (By the way I envy the wilderness you have there in Canada.)
Aw thanks! We do have quite an abundance here. I've followed you too :)
Lovely photo! You've swam in here?
Yes, before all the green moss formed on the surface.
... or did it form because you swam there?
That's possible!
have a nice swim and the cool temperatures will come soon :)
Thank you! In about three months it will start to cool down and life will get better :)
