the Lake in July

Yes, I'm two months late getting this post up.

Just doing a little photo album spring (fall) cleaning.

I was intrigued by the anatomy of a child after a dip in the lake.

A neck deep plunge into the lake so cold that the grown ups never even put their toes in.

First, the denial that they are even cold in the first place...

The hunched shoulders, desperately trying to conserve body heat...

The tightly clamped teeth...

The frozen squat in lieu of getting a towel to wrap up in...

And finally, utter misery.

It just screams for pity.

Too bad I'm not the pitying sort. Go find a towel.

Or a pack-n-play bag, whatever works for you.

As a sidenote, it was a beautiful day for those of us who stayed dry!
