Swimming hole

On the way home of course, we went a different way! Wonderful rural scenes and tons of time!
Looking over a winding hill road I peered over the side and saw this — with my own eyes I couldn’t see the guys swimming but trusted in my camera.

Three Good Things:
1. My eyes are not as good as my camera’s lens!
2. Its Xmas Eve and there must be all sorts of things going on… still looking…!
3. No matter, quiet and with my love is the best for Xmas Eve!

This is a beautiful scene -- I love the waterfall! I was so busy looking at the wonderful scene that I didn't notice the guys swimming until I read your commentary.

I hope that you and your husband have a wonderful Christmas Eve and many Good Things to celebrate with joy on Christmas Day!

[Maggiemae]

@dsp2 Thank you Dinah - its going to be a sad Christmas but a happy one in other ways - good food and skyping distant family!

[Beryl Lloyd]

A lovely shot -- took me some time to find the swimmers -- ( I was looking for them in the water !! ) May I wish you and John ,Peace and Joy this Christmas . You have each other and time will help to heal your loss xx

[Maggiemae]

@beryl There is also a guy climbing up a rock on the right. Should have waited till he jumped! Christmas greetings to you too, Beryl!

[Ann Williams]

Such a great find and even more exciting when it's unexpected. Love the scene and the guys must have been having great fun in the water. Have a happy and peaceful Christmas.

[Maggiemae]

@flowerfairyann It wasn't hot on this day but swimming is the best for young people. I would love to swim in this deep pool when the temp would be 30deg!

[richard saffold]

i noticed the guys and was glad to see they were clothed.

[Maggiemae]

@chard That's a point, Richard - they were miles from any public place!

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

I first saw this on my phone. I am glad I took a look on my computer!
Merry Christmas Maggie!

[Maggiemae]

@skipt07 The iPhone picture is good but you can't see the details! I didn't even know there were several guys here not to mention the two swimming in the middle of the pool! Go Camera!

[Sally Ings]

It looks so serene and a nice place to take a swim.

It's always fun to discover those unexpected camera bonuses in a shot. The Falls are really beautiful and the distance is shown by how small the people are! Good shot.
