Today the local community outdoor swimming pool is officially open for the summer. I have been swimming indoors all winter long and have been looking forward to this day for a while.

I can pretend I am swimming in the ocean, with a dome of blue sky above. One day I will be swimming with the seals at La Jolla Cove again.... Until then, I am relying on the powers of my imagination to turn chlorine into saline.

beautiful! let's go soon! (the pool & the ocean)
i want you to teach me the butterfly.
Both photos are beautiful, one in the city and one in nature. By the way, if you swim with seals, you might be a silkie! (a seal-woman who transforms herself once a year on Midsummer's Eve in order to be with her human children.) Have you seen the movie The Secret of Roan inish? It's really good.
M: I think I've been with my "human children" too long. The ocean is calling! The Secret of Roan Inish is one of my favorite all time movies. (I have it on a much played dvd.)
Ah yes, you and the water -- such a fitting combination. I am sure you must be a beautiful fish at heart...
