This is one view of the lake that the people in yesterday's post were jumping into. I *think* that I took this from the balcony of our hotel in Flores, but it might have been elsewhere.

Song of the day: "If I Could Cry (It Would Feel Like This)" by Jens Lekman

Poem of the day:
"Near where I live there is a lake
As blue as blue can be, winds make
It dance as they go blowing by.
I think it curtseys to the sky.
It's just a lake of lovely flowers
And my Mamma says they are ours;
But they are not like those we grow
To be our very own, you know.
We have a splendid garden, there
Are lots of flowers everywhere;
Roses, and pinks, and four o'clocks
And hollyhocks, and evening stocks.
Mamma lets us pick them, but never
Must we pick any gentians -- ever!
For if we carried them away
They'd die of homesickness that day."
- Amy Lowell, "Fringed Gentians"
