Lake Waterstone was a cool relief today for one resident's canines and actually a busier spot than the Waterstone pool which, in the early afternoon is a pretty quiet day with CCS back in session. I don't see the need for the lifegurads to blow the whistle for an adult swim today....
About the only place you can get relief from the heat aside from your air conditioner these dog days would be near the water. The glassy, first shot is from one of our east Carmel friends in Bayhill on Lake Waterstone Sunday morning. The lower image came from a canoe on Lake Woodland Springs. Thanks to residents Mark and Diane who were out on an early paddle before the heat set in They were so close you could almost feel the water....and on a day like today we could all use it. We always appreciate submissions to the East Of Keystone web site from our friends and neighbors...thanks! 
In just a few short days Hoosier's bodies that haven't seen sunshine since September will descend on area pools and parks over Memorial Day Weekend. It will indeed be a sun block application festival. Many neighborhood pools like this one in Waterstone (Bayhill, Stonewick, Windpointe, Brookfield) are oh so close to being ready. With a good weather next weekend most of us won't even mind the chilly water in our recently refilled pools. At least the kids won't mind. For those of us over 18 for some reason the cold water still seems to sting a bit. Fortunately it's nothing a cold adult beverage can't cure.
