Not the best pic since it was through the screen porch, but some of the trees behind our pool are 75’ tall. Fortunately we get some SW sun
Highest pool temp we hit this summer was 87F at the end of the June heat wave.
My pool is too chilly for my tastes right now. Lows in the 40s and 50s are killing it. Plus the sun angle is a bit lower so less hours of good sun on it.
Some friends of ours had a den on their property for a couple of months They have a pretty big property with a very long driveway. The den was near the far end of the driveway. They got to see the kittens but then they moved away (the bobcats)
Bobcats population has really exploded in Central Mass.
My wife and daughter saw two in our yard a year or two ago. I’ve never seen one in my life though.
A heater would make it nice. But my pool is likely done for the season. Too bad since some nice weather upcoming.
What does a heater cost to install and run?
We used to go to my mom’s house in Jamestown RI for the Quonset air show practice (usually Blue Angels) They would be buzzing over her house a few hundred feet up. You could see their helmeted faces because sometimes they would be upside down.
I sorta wish you could get it in stores year round.
Also, seeing Halloween candy displays in mid July has become the norm now.
Pumpkinhead beer in early August.
