first swim

My first swim of the year, May 20th, was actually warm (by Slocan Lake standards).  And, as you can see, beautiful!  I had forgotten to bring my swim suit from Vancouver, but no other creatures about except a pair of golden-eye ducks, and they didn't seem to mind a large human slipping briefly into their pond.



Yesterday, May 24th, was a different matter.  After the warm weather and high-snow melt, the lake was several feet higher and many degrees colder.  Brr!  I plunged in and out again PDQ.  Then the much-needed rain came.
