Good Day for a Swim




One teeny bit of Barton Springs Pool, on a hot summer Saturday, in the early afternoon. 

You can read about the Pool here.  The pool is part of, and is fed by, Barton Springs.

  3. That looks like a real treat - swimming in a pool fed by a spring on a hot day. It's in the 60's here and about to rain - I'm just saying!

    Thanks for visiting my old posts and leaving those kind comments. I always like to hear from you.

  4. That photo kicks me back to the 70s. I don't know what it is but it makes me nostalgic. It looks very inviting.

  6. I know this place. Not that I've ever been there. I know it because my best friend was there - in happier times - pre cancer - when she was alive

    Well worth exploring.

  8. OH how delightful! I used to swim in that pool:-) I lived in Austin for a year when I first moved to the States. That was one COLD pool! A welcome relief from the summer heat:-)
