Out for a drive

Noters Beware!! This is a “mean-note” free diary.

So, I was out and about a while ago, and opted out of the same old boring drive to my house in favor of a drive by a nearby lake. The road that winds around the lake has a widened road by the boat launch so people can pull over and park if they would like to fish or just view the scenery. I happened to have my camera with me today, even though earlier the weather was pouring so hard it would have probably ruined it had I taken it out of the car. Just as I was driving by, a photo op appeared…

I was busy focusing on the swan, who was later joined by a friend, and wasn’t really paying attention to anything around me. I did hear a few splashes, but wrote them off to fish jumping. Imagine my surprise when I walked out on a dock by the beach area when I looked down and saw this…

Some guy was diving and cleaning junk off the bottom of the lake in the area around the dock. Today was fairly cool and very rainy, so the last thing I expected to see was a person emerging from under the water. It gave me quite a start!

But not enough of one to prevent me from getting at least a couple of decent shots…

I don’t suppose it maters much if it’s raining when you’re diving. Kudos to him for collecting litter off teh lake bed!
