We have a lake of our own too -- although we must use a car to reach it. Here is a glimpse of it:
And another...
And a third.
Behind that scene is our swimming pool where Brigitte frolicks doing aqua-dynamics. Here she is at the beginning of the session, just saying hello to a friend.
And here in the midst of exercises.
Then she noticed me peering through the grating of the cast-iron fence and waved to me. It pleased to be recognized, and I waved back.
Then it was back to work again. So what did I do while Brigitte strengthened body and spirit? I strengthen my powers of observing the world while listening to the distant music.
If you have the time, I have the waves, the birds, and a lazy boat or two.
