I’m back! Ish. And sharing photographic results of a broken pool filter rather than a broken car. Huzzah! Annabelle and I had a lot of fun, and we got to see my family, which was also very nice (it had been nearly 2 years since our last visit).
In other sporting news, I’m afraid I’ll be cutting my blogging schedule to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for a while. With all the CrAzY changes lately I need a bit of time to get stuff… figured out. Have I mentioned I’m both bad with change and a bit slow? Anyway, have a great day everyone! I hope you enjoy the pool!

Excellent image & welcome back (Ish). There is nothing so forlorn/mysterious/sinister as an empty pool on a hot hazy day. Very California Noir.
Thank you very much!
I do love empty pools… as you say, there’s something very bizarre about them! I took one or two more I hope to share at some point…
🙂
Better to have you back (ish) than still entirely gone. It is good to see you again – well, your photographs, anyway.
Thank you so very much, Ms. D!
I don’t know that I’m ever ‘entirely here’… but I try!
🙂
Welcome Back Robert!!! I assume the no diving was painted on here when the pool was drained
Thank you very much, Tony!
Hahaha… yeah… someone has some serious ESP! 🙂
Why do drained pools look like someone pooped in them?
Hahaha…
“There it is!”
*sniff sniff*
“It’s no big deal.”
*chew chew*
🙂
Welcome back. SIG. Good to see you.
Thank you very much, S.E.!
And you as well!
🙂
welcome back.
Thank you very much!
🙂
Welcome back, Robert! Hope you and Annabelle had a great time on your vacation. Lookinf forward to seeing more of your stuff, even if it will be just three times a week.
The pool shot is kind of eerie. Empty pools just don’t seem right!
Thank you very much, Binky!
We did have a very nice time!
Absolutely… I’m not really sure why, but they do seem a bit creepy! 🙂
LOVE the pool
That is wonderful to hear, N.M…
thank you very much!
🙂
Hooray! You’re back! Glad to hear you & the Belle had a good time w/ the Inky clan. Love the creepy pool – but I sure hope it wasn’t taken where you were staying..
Thank you so much, Dishy! It was an Inky good time, indeed!
Fortunately the pool was taken here (before we left). We saw plenty of the Great Lakes, though… which were much more impressive! 🙂
It’s good to see you back–even if only three days a week (which is better than no days!) Glad y’all had a good vacation.
Love the pool shot.
Thanks so much, Cecilia!
It’s nice to be back (mostly)!
🙂
How many 7ft people go swimming anyways?
Glad you;re back
Hahaha… well… at least one too many, I guess!
Thank you very much, Loon! You are always very kind!
🙂
🙂 Pools are overrated right? Glad you are back 🙂
Especially if you’re like me and do more sinking than floating!
Thanks so much, RNP!
🙂
Welcome back! I missed your inspiration. I was actually thinking about you today and how I’m taking pictures to document my life, while you’re taking pictures to make ART. I really admire that.
But anyway, this reminds me of the pool episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. I hope you’re watching that.
First let me just say that you are too kind, U.M… and who says that life can’t be art?! You take spectacular photos yourself, you know!
ALSO… one of the best shows… EVER! I’m pretty sure I’ve seen almost every episode. Intervention! Intervention!
🙂
Welcome back!
Thank you very much, Laura!
🙂
SIG, I love this shot. I only wish you had captured someone doing a face-splat after diving into this pool.
🙂
Thank you very much, Bob!
Hahaha… it could have been a self-portrait, really.
I was pretty far back from the edge, but I still couldn’t shake the feeling I was about to fall in at any moment!
🙂
Cool shot. Glad you’re back, looking forward to more.
Many thanks, Mr. J!
I’ve got a few things in mind…
if I can just get them put together…
🙂
Glad to see you back posting again and with a great image as well. I like the colour in the pool, very tranquil.
A.Wally
Thank you very much, Astra!
I thought it seemed interesting… although I must have been the only one because no one else seemed to be hanging out by the empty pool. Go figure, right?! 🙂
Allot of cool photos, I enjoy the frames you use with the photos
Thank you so much! I try! I like creating different frames every now and then, too… that way I have something that seems appropriate for whatever mood I’m trying to create. Although sometimes I fear I rely on them a bit too much.
Thank you very much for stopping by, sir! I really appreciate your kind comment!
🙂
Welcome back! Your photos are always a highlight of my day. I love this shot of the pool. Something makes me think I know a couple of boys who may not heed warning to the ‘no diving’ sign. 😉
Thanks very much, YAW – you are always far too kind!
Hahaha… I don’t think that warning applies if it’s been at least an hour since you’ve eaten anything… it’s got to be true… I heard it on the bus!
🙂
Tis great to have you back! 😀 Happy to hear that you had lots of fun on your vacation.
I appreciate that very much, Mary!
Yeah, it wasn’t too bad after all! 🙂
great photo.
and so so glad you guys had a great vaca and visit with the fam!
um, if there’s anyone who understand about not being able to post very often, it’s me. haha. NO WORRIES
Thanks, B.D.!
Yeah, wasn’t too shabby! Even for me – and I always find a way to find some shabby!
I’m not sure I can take it! At some point I may crack and go back to 5 posts a week again. Or down to 2. Just cause I’m all over the place like that. 🙂
Sorry, i’m late to the welcome home party, but I’m here! Glad you’re back but too bad the pool was empty. 😦
Thrilled you stopped by, J.G. – Thank you very much!
Hahaha… yeah… barely enough green water in that thing to cover ones toes!
🙂
Welcome back, Sig! So glad you had some good R&R.
Is this where you hid the body??
Thanks, M.P. – I really appreciate that!
Hahaha… I think I did hear a rumor about Jimmy Hoffa hanging around those parts. Or was that the end-zone in Giant’s stadium? Hmm… one of those, anyway! 🙂
Great shot and super composition spilledinkguy 🙂
Thank you very much, Eden! I’m happy to hear that you liked it… I’m fairly happy with how this one turned out… I think. For now, anyway. 🙂
First, welcome back!
Secondly, I can’t dive into this end of the pool nor wade because I can’t swim. 😦
Thirdly, I also have cut back on my posting schedule. Once a week on Monday’s for a while. Busy schedule aren’t always fun.
Thanks much, sir!
That secondly includes both of us, Mel… I find it much easier to sink than swim!
Sorry to hear about that, but obviously I understand where you are coming from on that front as well. You said it, sir! 🙂
Yay! You’re back!
Thank you so much!
You are a very kind diva!
🙂
You have once again taken an everyday scene and made it into a really cool image. So sweet!!
Glad ya’ll are back safely!!!
Thank you very much, Mr. B – I really appreciate your kind comment!
I’m always a bit nervous about these things, but this time things seemed to go okay – so no complaints here!
🙂
Hey man what time does the pool party start?
Hahaha… I don’t know when it started, and I don’t know if it ever ends! It is B.Y.O.W. (bring your own water), though. Which is a bit of a bummer. 🙂
sometimes diving in at the deep end is not cool. 🙂
glad you both had a good holiday.
Hahaha… you said it, C.O.R…
that would be a bad day at the pool!
Thank you very much – we did have a very nice time!
🙂
Oh man… why are we back again!? I’d rather go swimming in the great lakes than here! 😛
I don’t really ‘swim’ anywhere…
but I might rather sit by the great lakes than sit here…
🙂
Word.
🙂
Very nice color. Also if you dive into it, you will break your skull!
Thank you very much, sir!
Absolutely… it would take a very impressive helmet to keep you safe… it would probably have to be even larger than the actual pool!
🙂
Don’t worry. I’m bad with change and slow, too. Great image! 🙂
I’m a bit relieved to hear that I’m not the only one, Val!
Thank you very much for your kind comments!
🙂
