Back to the Reservoir on a Sunny Day - A Photo Essay
The temperature was 13 degrees Centigrade, but the sun made us a little warmer as we took a walk for around an hour and a half over to revisit the reservoir. Everything is getting a little greener, and yellow flowers are blooming.

For my wife and me, a nice walk on a sunny day. For you, if you looked at the photos, a short break from guns, verbal insults, political investigations and arguments about religion.
You mean...we're allowed to take breaks from that stuff? Who knew??
A break that is well received by me.
Thanks for the essay Buzz. ''A day in the life of Buzz''...
These are nicely exposed, with clean colors and, as always, the content is unique and rich!
Absolutely beautiful Buzz. The mist didn't detract at all from the photos; if anything, it may have added a softness to the scene and improved the pictures artistically.
Why would they stop the guy from fishing?? It's not as if the fish add anything to the quality of the drinking water.
There was a sign that indicated that swimming and fishing were prohibited. It is the water supply for my area of the city. The first time I visited that spot someone was swimming there as well, and I posted a photo of it.
