What a great shot, however, I don't think they could swim all that way, I know I couldn't.
Myrl--when I visit your posts I am never disappointed. Thanks for today's Speechless Sunday photo.
Martha - I'm going to need to check out your grand children just as soon as I finish commenting here. And your comment about being "a kid again" is so true:-)
Chris Ann - I was sitting there under a canopy with my family, watching the sun prance from ripple to ripple. It appeared as shimmering diamonds on a lake of blue.
Richard - Well thank you Kind Sir! It was a hard scene to leave behind, that's for sure!
Leolinda - Lake Tahoe is one of those lakes that isn't ever really truly warm. . .The snow still on the sierras in the background provides a clue why that is.
Carol - I remember succinctly what the bigger girl was thinking - She had just asked that littler one the question, "Do you think we can swim across?" The littler one reached for her life-ring:-)
June - I couldn't do it either. And I swim 2 miles several times a week. It would be the temperature of the lake that would stop me!
Sea to Sky - Yes, it was a "real Summer" moment. . .We flew kites on the beach, rafted, had a picnic, and some of us napped.
Mary - Well I'm glad you like the pictures. . .I certainly enjoy your visits:-)
No, probably not - but where you're standing looks like a lovely place to play! Great shot, Myrl!

Myrl, Our water is grey compared to this, it is just beautiful! Swim? I can't swim I'm sorry to say--I can't even float :)
Myrl What a lovely shot. I am getting to the other side had crossed their minds.
I am not used to seeing anything other than the horizon when looking across water this clear.....except for the mountains I would think it was the Gulf of Mexico. The girls are adorable!
...ahhh!!! don't do it girls..then again, they're probably better swimmers than me. I love this picture, Myrl.
Myrl,
I love the blue of Lake Tahoe along with the colorful outfits of the young models. Thanks for sharing.
Debi - The Sand Harbor area of Lake Tahoe is one of my favorite places to play:-)
Carole - Everyone can float or swim. . .They just need to learn how:-)
Jennifer - The question was definitely asked by the bigger girl. . .The littler one reached for her life ring.
Ann - That would be true! I've sat on the beaches of the Pacific and seen nothing on the horizon other than an occassional ship going by.
Xinh - I'm glad you liked it!
Gerry - There is something in the DNA of little girls less than 10 years of age, which ALWAYS demands that pink be added to their fashion sense:-)
Gary - I think it may quite possibly be one of the most beautiful lakes on earth.
Myrl - I knew before reading the comments that this was Lake Tahoe and what a beautiful lake it is! I swam on the swim team in school for 4 years and have been a big swimmer all my life.
I believe if the water was not to cold I could still swim across this lake, it might take me a couple days but I think I could do it!

By the way your post has been featured at ............ CALIFORNIA DREAMING
Myrl,
That is a great title for your post. Can just imagine those kinds of thoughts here. Beautiful water. :)

Robert - I'm also a swimmer. I swim a couple miles, several times a week. At one point I considered the Alcatraz swim. I was certain I could handle the distance, the waves, and the sharks. Afterall, there are more sharks on land than ever dwelled in the sea. But there is no way I can handle the temperature of the water. Lake Tahoe would provide the same challenge. Thank you for the California Dreaming feature. It's greatly appreciated!
Steve - The title came out of the lips of the larger of the two girls in the picture. . .The smaller one reached for her life ring. . .No fear:-)
Hi Myrl, This is the case where a picture is worth a thousand words! The colors are stunning and the girls are beautiful ( I can tell without even seeing their faces.) This is an amazing picture!
Myrl - You always seem to capture the moment perfectly in a stunning photo. BTW - I wouldn't want to swim to Alcatraz either :-)
That is a beautiful photo of Lake Tahoe Myrl. I live on Lake Travis outside Austin but the lake levels are so low here I can't remember the last time I actually got on the water!!
