It could have been the shot of the year with someone in the water, but I guess that's too dangerous. =D

@Behrooz: Only drunks swim in this part of the lake - and it was too early for them! Thanks Behrooz!

@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: Never, Alfredo - the algae causes poisoning, vomiting, etc - thanks for the visit!

Unfortunately, signs like that are all too common in the USA too.

@Evie: It's great for the carp, though, which are considered a pest and threat to nartive species. Thanks for the visit Evie.

My pond has beavers in it...(which I posted a couple days ago) not to mention the mossy's... except in the winter and then you can skate on it. Ok, enough smart aleck stuff... We get this sometimes, too, only we call it swimmer's itch but I don't think it's quite as toxic. I just love how you bring a little of your world to us! ;-)
