This morning the western horizon was graced with one of the most beautiful rainbows I have ever seen. Well defined bands of bright color stretched all the way across the sky. Violet, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, and all the colors in between. From the water it was an especially spectacular sight.
Unfortunately (or maybe inevitably) behind the rainbow were dark clouds, rain, thunder and lightening. Beauty, raw power, and danger all wrapped together, just like the lake. Reluctantly we ended our swim early, but we'll be back for another go tonight.
For those of you who haven't been following the blog comments, Kahuna is making some very good and some very bad suggestions. Good: Team picture day - who has a good camera? Good: Olympic triathlon party to watch our friend Gwen Jorgensen (who swam with us a couple times). Very very bad: Gumdrop Swimsuit Day - a special place has been reserved for Kahuna in the 9th circle of hell for this suggestion.
Reminder: Fish Fry Friday after Friday night's swim
