BIGGER SPLASH II

It is hot today so we took inspiration from the film we watched (see just below) and went out to the pool for awhile.

Incidentally, the water looks just like that.

And we had two naked boys in it as well. Us.

Franklin does not like us to go into the pool.

John went in first and he barked and carried on.

Then, when I went, he just resigned himself.

The pool makes no sense to him and is scary.

He will not go in.

He fell in twice when he was a puppy; in winter.

That was enough for a life time.

We are happy about his aversion. I have some friends whose dogs are in and out of the pool all day (and in the dirt and so on). It is not nice.

I wondered whether the whole Bigger Splash and other California paintings had anything to do with our decision to come here thirty years later.

I suppose that is too great a stretch.

But, nevertheless, it is nice to see the film and think of the paintings and then go out and just jump in.
