Drove my Chevy to the levee...

... but the levee was dry.

Not quite a levee, but that line popped into my head when I saw this. We went to Pocantico Lake with the intention of my husband fishing and me taking photos. Pocantico Lake is a man-made lake (completed in 1916) on the Pocantico River and supposedly it has a normal surface area of 67 acres. From the height of the weeds and grass that's grown up around the edges of the lake, I'm guessing the lake was partially drained so they could do some construction work on the dam, and the recent dry spell wasn't helping the water level either.

Lol, drinking whiskey an rye, I'm guessing not fishing got done here then

[Melissa Pike]

@griff LOL nope, no fishing. My poor husband isn't having very good luck - last weekend we were rained out and now a dry lake!

Beautiful view, Melissa, and a wonderful reference to the song!

Not much of a lake left for him to fish, but you still got to shoot.

[Allison Williams]

Those fish are probably gasping as they look for deeper water.

[Caroliene]

Looks like a lovely place!

[Sally Gustavson]

So sad that everything is so dry, but a beautiful shot nonetheless.

Beautiful picture but now I have the song stuck in my head. :)

[Laerke Thorndal]

Now I've got that song stuck in my head too :) Great shot!

[Trina P Holub]

Oh, your poor hubby! That sight must've come as a shock at first. Well, at least you had better luck in the future. :-)
