Rare to have both sons home over the Thanksgiving holiday, so we spent a pleasant hour at the billiard parlor. . .Lynn snapped this image on her cellphone.
AT THE POOL
Happiness was a day at a pool
in the grass ringed round
with trees up to the sky
here I was god’s and my
grandpa’s lad – both died,
happiness is dangerous
in the evening the pool has lain down
so mirror-smooth that sky, trees and grass
repeat themselves below the ground
fear and longing both ask me
to come back

One of the many geothermal jewels in Yellowstone's West Thumb Geyser Basin. Abyss is the deepest pool known in Yellowstone and received its name for its abyss-like depth.
West Thumb Geyser Basin is one of the smallest geyser basins in Yellowstone yet its location along the shore of Yellow-stone Lake ranks it as the most scenic.
One of the deeper hot springs in the park, Abyss Pool descends to 53 feet (16 meters). It varies from turquoise blue to emerald green to various shades of brown.
Hope your week is off to a great start!
Backyard Pool it has been a wet week, several inches in the last 3-4 days, I hope the birds clean it out, shot in North Carolina.
With the sun setting in front of me, I liked this composition and the reflections in the pool water.

The Greyhound is an ancient and noble breed renowned as the fastest dog on Earth, but also famous for being a docile "45-mph couch potato" in the home. They make calm, affectionate, and low-maintenance family pets for the right household.
Key Characteristics
Speed:
Greyhounds can reach speeds of up to 45 mph (72 km/h) in just a few strides, thanks to their unique, aerodynamic build, deep chest, flexible spine, and long, powerful legs.
Temperament:
Despite their athletic prowess, Greyhounds are gentle, sensitive, and quiet dogs. They are non-aggressive, typically get along well with people and other dogs, and are known for their calm, even-tempered nature indoors.
Exercise Needs:
They are built for sprinting, not endurance, and require surprisingly little exercise—around an hour of daily activity, ideally split into two shorter walks with the chance for a supervised sprint in a securely fenced area.
Prey Drive:
As sighthounds, they have a strong instinct to chase fast-moving objects (like squirrels or rabbits). For this reason, they should generally remain on a lead in open public spaces and a secure, high-fenced garden is essential.
Greyhounds are one of the oldest breeds in history, appearing in ancient Egyptian art dating back to 4000 BCE and the only dog breed mentioned by name in the Bible.
Beauty Pool est une source chaude située dans le Upper Geyser Basin dans le parc national de Yellowstone aux États-Unis.
Il est connecté à la source chaude Chromatic Spring. En effet, lorsque l'eau de l'une des deux sources monte et déborde, le niveau de l'eau de l'autre diminue. Ces variations se déroulent sur des périodes allant de quelques semaines à plusieurs années. Au cours de ce changement d'énergie, les températures peuvent varier d'environ 6 °C. Sa température varie entre 73 et 79 °C.

A favourite location of mine for New Year's Day walkies near Sligachan, Isle of Skye - a dull and dreary morning but it wasn't raining!
……. A shot from a small village not to far from our village, there is a small Fishing pool that is quite popular there. I’m standing on the road and behind me is the Mill House - the mill back in the day being driven from the pools outlet. So that’s #083 shot of the day taken on my phone in Apple RAW and edited in Lightroom. Alan:-)

Processed in Adobe Lightroom.
Image taken at the Christian Science Plaza in Boston, MA. The grounds along side the building are adorned by gardens, a fountain and a stunning 670 foot long reflecting pool.
The reflecting pool, designed by the firm of renowned architect I.M. Pei, is so large that the curvature of the Earth had to be taken into account to keep water from spilling over the sides.
The fountain design includes a cast-iron gate with 2-inch opening that allows 180 water jets to shoot directly out of the ground.
Thank you for your comments.
