It was crepe myrtle flowers and if I had skimmed them out of the water by the time I had put the skimmer away there would be more of them floating in the water. Besides, I took the pictures for family, not for the cover of a magazine you a$$wipe.
If it was any cleaner it would not even look natural. Knowing how particiliar you are, it was just cute to see the flowers in the pool....as you like to make sure things are "done right". That is a compliment by the way.
You are the one that notices every piece of dust in the DUmmie photo threads....
So I was just being a little critical of your masterpiece of a back yard...like I said, it looks nice...
