Cold Feet
Uploaded: June 29, 2011
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 #9494266Julianne Bradford June 29, 2011

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! #9497929Tammy Espino July 01, 2011
Smart little duckie!! Just going from the chair into the pool yesterday I was burning my feet off!!! :) A cute capture!! #9500288Heather Loewenhardt July 03, 2011

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. #9559812Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
