Waywayanda Lake, New Jersey swimming, fishing, no motors
I’ve been immersed in water all my life, mesmerized by it. Here we are at a lake in New Jersey. People are swimming boating fishing, no motors and the underwater sound is surprising. We hear a lot of mud bubbles bursting and many fish.This is a place I want to come back to and I’d like to be swimming in right now, this summer. Water is so so important and I love many bodies of water.
