How fun to take swimming lessons in a pond! It is beautiful!
Looks absolutely lovely. Wish I was right there. What are you reading, btw?
I'm the same way with the beach. It has to be REALLY hot for me to parade my wobbly bits around the beach and get in the water!!!
Something about taking swim lessons in a pond rather than the cement pool just seems delicious. The way summer should be. Thanks for the photos--makes me miss the pond!
OH, I loved Walden Pond. It is gorgeous and even though tourists go there it seems so non-touristy.
Walden is great...this isn't actually Walden, though. It's another, smaller and more private pond in Massachusetts. Very similar feel, though!
