Some Shots are Really Timeless - Speechless Sunday

The Office Manager and I were taking the daily afternoon stroll in Dillsboro the other day. As we approached the town park where the Tuckasegee River meets Scotts Creek, a favorite boat launch for tubers, rafters and kayakers we heard giggles, screeches, splashes and lots of laughter. All I had with me was my non-smart phone but it was enough to get the type of snapshot that could have been taken at any point since cameras have been invented.

What is more timeless than a swarm of children splashing around in the community swimming hole?

Enjoy your Sunday!

Good morning Mona - Great photo. In black and white, I'm pretty sure I was there about 40 years ago :)

Hi Barbara...your grandkids might feel differently about the B&W when they get older, have more appreciation for ties to the past. Thanks.

Hi Wayne, that's a nice memory and hey...at least your son grew up swimming!

Good morning Linda, I agree and I hope our waters can always stay clean enough for this kind of activity.

Wayne and Jean, I'm pretty sure if we dig deep enough, we'd all find ourselves in this photo!

Alexandra, the last couple of weeks have been perfect hot weather to seek relief in icy cold mountain streams.

Just noticed that the font I used for this post eliminated the letter "b". How odd...
