The San Marcos River is one of the best places for swimming. The water is cool, clear and welcoming. Sewell Park is always filled with fun people who like to soak up the sun, jump in, swim, and float. The river begins just north of where these photos were taken – at the San Marcos Springs or Aquarena Springs. Definitely go for a swim if you find yourself nearby.
After work today, I walked along the shoreline of Emma Long Metropolitan Park and then beat the heat by going for a sunset swim. The summertime people were out in full force.
Hey. I got a new backpack. It is the Marmot Kompressor Plus. I also got this groovy Sea to Summit Lightweight Drysack. The concept is to take them hiking, and then stash everything into the Drysack so I can more easily jump into rivers and stuff. I am kind of a chicken when it comes to swimming in unknown places or crossing weird bodies of water, but maybe since I won’t have to worry about my stuff getting wet, I’ll be less scared? I will be sure to report back to you with the results. 🙂
Warning! Super geek with a camera does a lap around and through the community pool this morning when left alone before lap swimming time. Enjoy!
What can you do when your car is in the shop for alignment, among other things? You can beg your friend for a ride home from work. You can go for a swim and then bring your camera along for a neighborhood walk. You might see an awesome sunset, a bunny, a Versa-Vibe, the half moon, and other cool stuff. See, who needs a car anyways? Uh, can someone give me a ride to work in the morning? 🙂
Isn’t it nice when all the neighborhood kids go home for dinner and you have the pool all to yourself? Just you and the sunset, the cool water, the clouds, the birds, and the quiet.
It is back in the pool for me. It has been forever since I swam laps, so today’s 20 minute session was taken slow and easy. Hello self – you should be doing this several times a week, if not every day. I don’t listen to self reasoning very well, but now that my first swim session of the year is done, it should be easy to return to the pool and do it again. The cloudy weather made for a perfect, cool day. 🙂
It was a nice day for a drive today, so I went to check out Jacob’s Well , near Wimberly. From the parking area, it is a short walk to the artesian spring. The opening to the swimming hole is only about 12 feet, so it is not a very large place to swim. It is currently closed to swimming, but there were a few people breaking the rules, and a handful of scuba divers descending into the spring. The water was very clear and inviting.
I took my camera for a late night swim. The weather in Texas is starting to get a little cooler, making for a nice lap swim in the community pool.
I had the pool all to myself this morning. I was testing my ability to take a photo half in the water and half out of the water. I hope you like the results.
