Cold Feet

Uploaded: June 29, 2011

Description

She knew how to keep cool during our hot, sweltering TX summer days...you plop yourself down on the edge of a spillway and let the cold water run over your feet....sounds good to me! Taken at Brackenridge Park in San Antonio, TX.

Happy Wednesday everyone - Make it a great day!

We were in Glacier a year ago, with perfect temperatures, we are hitting heat index of 104 now. If I don't get the work done by noon it doesn't get done LOL. That cool water looks good to me, who says an animal isn't smart #9494266

Looks like she's inviting you in Val. I love how all your animal captures have such great attitudes. It muust be a reflection of your personality. Animals do know these things :-) #9494549

Wonderfully clear details here, Val! I envy the duck staying cool! Our entire state is literally burning up with new forest fires starting daily. Very sad for our wilderness areas. Stay cool if you can! #9497929

She looks so hot; she's so cool. Looking at the thumbnail I thought this might be a double exposure, but that was likely the impact of opposites that you captured so well, Val. #9559812
