"Selfies" a dangerous practice

There is a great story behind this picture. I was spending a day at Lake Gregory. It was another great day at the North Shore Beach. Warm sun, cool clean lake water and plenty of Coke Zero to keep me hydrated.  

 I was in heaven, I was just taking it all in.  It was a Picture perfect day! So I took a picture, or two, or three, of my self. I was just trying to get a good picture of me with the lake in the background and hopefully a picture of me without someone bending over with their butt in my pix. 

After a few shots of myself I stopped to look at my pictures to review what I taken to find the best picture to post. It was a fairly busy day at the lake and the beach was full of beach goers. I was reviewing my pix  when a young lifeguard approached me. " excuse me sir, you are not allowed to take pictures of other people" 

I was so taken off guard I just looked at him totally confused and said "OTHER PEOPLE" "Yes" he said "It  very much looked like to me that you were taking a picture of those people over there" I told him that I had reversed the lens on my phone camera and  was photographing myself. "Oh sorry" he said then went to the group of people to my right to tell them of the misunderstanding. 

My first thought was CONCEDED MUCH! as I looked over at the group of beach goers who were complaining. Believe me they were no work of art. I felt like some kind of pervert photographing babes at the beach. I myself have a tendency to not pay much attention to the goings on of the other people around me. Someone could be taking my picture and I  would even be aware of it or care. 

So a word to the wise be careful when doing a Selfie. And If you ever find yourself with nothing to do and lots of time to do it in. Go visit Lake Gregory in Crestline CA.

Away from the lake as I now look at the picture in question the real crime in this picture are the wrinkled rings around my turkey neck. You could cut my head off and count the rings to find out how old I am.

I give the Lake 5 lizard tails up and as always I hope your life is filled with Sweet Suntanned Cash Filled Dreams.
