Lots of nice cool photos here during a hot summer.
ReplyDeleteLovin' the cat!

It is so cold and miserable over here I am craving some warmth! I'll send you some cold weather if you send me some sunshine!
ReplyDeleteThanks for finding these gorgeous pictures and sharing them!
Best wishes,
Natasha in Oz
Lovely idea Natasha! It's a deal!
DeleteExactly what I needed today! It's been hot and dry here, and along with people, the gardens are suffering. I can't imagine what this weather is doing to the farmers. I'd like to sit in the cool ocean water and not come out until it gets cooler.
ReplyDeleteThis ice cream looks mighty yummy. It's been rainy here but the ice cream looks too good to pass.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful images - but I wish we had some of your heat! It's been pretty dull weather-wise where I am. That little dog and the fan, just what mine would do.
ReplyDeleteI just want to dive into that water! The little dog made me laugh, and the iced drink looks very inviting. You’ve found some lovely pics on Pinterest this time. It’s still raining in the UK (mid summer and been raining for weeks) so I might go and look at some warm pictures now. Hot soup and a cup of cocoa come to mind!
ReplyDeleteIncredible images!! I'm feeling so cool, relaxed and refreshed now - thanks! I desperately want to be that lady in the white gown wading across that cool stream in the shadows :)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't that place look heavenly?
DeleteYou are so lucky to be having such hot weather. I love the photos you have chosen - they are as good as being on holiday myself. Definitely no global warming here! Like Barbara in the UK in Ireland it has rained and rained and rained for weeks!
ReplyDeleteI would love to exchange weather with you and Barbara for a week!
DeleteI feel cooler already, great images. I love the one of the cat!
ReplyDeleteIt isn't so hot here today but the humidity is very high so it feels muggy. We are hoping for a nice thunderstorm (not a bad one, just a little one) to clear the air.
I do feel very refreshed I guess the swim in the lake helped too.
ReplyDeletethanks for following I will gladly follow you.

Thanks everyone for your comments, we all just have to muddle through our diverse weather conditions and of course we all know that can change in a moment. I need to go and refill my glass with ice cubes...
ReplyDeleteWhat COOL images! Yes, I do feel quite refreshed! The little dog in front of the fan reminds me of myself when I was little, and there was no air-conditioning!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you ~ I'm your newest follower!
Best,
