Took the OAC Rambler for a ride along the Mystic Lakes in the late afternoon, a quick spin to clear the cobwebs before a Precinct meeting.
One of the points of this particular route is to discover the scene, what people are doing on the lakes on a particular day, in particular weather. Today was sunny, breezy, in the 50s, and two young people were distance swimming, complete with colorful floats. I was a little surprised to see them, but some kids are both ambitious and resilient enough to attempt that on a cool day.
A
plein air painter practiced a gentler pursuit in one of the parking lots on the Mystic Valley Parkway. Perhaps she'll paint the swimmers.
The afternoon's anthropological researches complete, I rode home.
