Everyone loves the pool

My pool is a magnet for everyone in the neighbourhood. But, not who you might think...
There is me -- always floating around in my chair reading my waterproof e-reader.
But there is also the racoons. Leaving their muddy footprints on the first ladder step, as they wash their hands in the pool at night.
There are the butterflies, that swoop down, grab a quick drink, and fly off.
There is the small black bat, that swoops across the surface of the pool at night to skim mosquitos and other insects.
There are the multitude of spiders, earwigs, worms, bees, flies, and ants that flock to the pool, fall in, and which we have to skim off the surface each morning.
And there are the multitude of birds, hummingbirds, and dragonflies that fly overhead while you are floating around.
I'm not sure we would get as much wildlife in the backyard, if we didn't have the pool. Which makes me happy to know that I'm not the only one that enjoys it.
