The life preserver is a nice touch... but I wouldn't venture in, too much water weed. However I've seen people drift around in a rowing boat, and sometimes there are people fishing on the bank.

Reflecting Pool
The town reservoir is home to redwing blackbirds, turtles, bullfrogs, Canada geese, swans, beavers and, occasionally, some giant mosquitoes. This where Tessa spends her excess puppy energy when she comes to stay with me.

Now that I think of it, I don't know where your town's reservoir is!
ReplyDeleteDoes not look good for swimming. but it still is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe Bag Lady is thankful she doesn't know how to swim...so she wouldn't be tempted to try it in the reservoir. Whew!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reservoir! It looks so calm and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteNice spot. A bit like our lake minus the Canada geese and beavers.
ReplyDeleteJust catching up!
ReplyDeleteI should imagine by now our reservoirs are overflowing, we have had so much rain. Fed up with it now!!!
Love the doggy mud pack, glad I don't have to groom it!
this looks like a beautiful tranquil place
ReplyDeleteDid Tessa swim in the resevior?
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a wonderfully peaceful place to walk and think and meditate. I wouks love seeing all the Birds and Wikdlife!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty to look at, but no way I would venture in. Our town reservoir is made of concrete.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine Tess loving all that vegetation and swampiness to roll around in. Looks like a great walking place. Don't think I want to swim there though. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt is very peaceful and lovely.
ReplyDeleteHow about drifting along on an inner tube?? :) Would you do that?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place to bird watch to me.
ReplyDeleteBy town reservoir do you mean “town water supply”?
ReplyDeleteIf so, why are humans and for that matter dogs allowed to recreate in it?
If not, than have at it, nice tranquil spot with all the bird activity no matter what it is used for.
Delightful shot. Love the composition and the green/red contrasts!
ReplyDeleteLooks inviting for a tour in a rowing boat, no doubt!
ReplyDeleteWhat? No alligators?!?!
ReplyDeleteI won't go in for a swim either.
