Another perfect morning at the pool. I wonder if I can get paid to swim?




I hit the pool at 6:00 this morning. The air was cool (62 f) and dry. The water was a chilly (but wonderful) 77 degrees. It was dark when I got in and fully light when I pulled myself out of the deep end, grabbed my phone and took the images above and below. Yesterday I forgot all my swim gear at the pool. It was waiting for me in a small bin at the side of the deck when I got there this morning. So nice. 

I hope Austinites and Texans are smart enough to continue doing the social distancing and face mask wearing so we don't  have to shut down the pools again. It would be sad to let the pandemic win when there are still thousands of potential swims left. 


I use Blogger to create the blog posts. They've changed the whole interface and it may take me a day or two to get used to the new way of doing things. I hope there's no interruption of service and I hope also that I don't get myself into a technical pickle and mess stuff up. It would be a bad time to do so since my technical staff is busy troubleshooting the small cold fusion reactor we use to power the labs, etc. 

Now off with a odd mismatch of cameras: The S1R with the 85mm Sigma Art lens and the Canon G15 (with freshly charged batteries...). Have a great day! Drink lots of coffee! Play hard.

    Inviting photos! (Speaking as an under-10 age group breast stroker 68 years ago.)

    My day started off doing 4x5 photography in our almost deserted downtown. Next will be a walk through one of our wild parks with my trusty old Panasonic GX1 and 20mm f1.7 Panasonic lens. Maybe I will end the day doing night photography with my GH5.

    Gotta keep the grey matter challenged and the legs moving.

    BTW that fusion reactor must charge batteries REALLY fast!

    It also keeps the refrigerator really cold! We've started leaving the door open to cool off the back porch.

    On another note, maybe you could become a swimming coach. I hear there is big bucks in that lol.

    Oops, don’t leave the door open! Thermodynamics laws will tell You that temperature will rise instead of fall.

    On the bright side, you have readers who know about thermodynamics laws.
