30° Celsius

This solitary backstreet boy found a solution against the heat in the slurry waters of a pond, whilst the other more sophisticated dogs on the leach of their owners watched him surely with envy.

What a tremendous pattern you have captured in the water! The dog appears to look a little guilty ...

Quite a whimsical image.

The photo is decorative indeed and the dog seems to be very satisfied.
Our dog is coming every hot morning quite dirty and wet because my husband let her spring free and Kiki dog finds, of course, always some water, not so clean! And I wash her and the husband explains . . . .:)
Thank you for your visit my blog and have a good week!

I looked at your post of The Great Crested Grebe, Podiceps cristatus, at least, I think, it is that bird. It nests also on our lake, but many times the wild minks or foxes eat babies, because their nests are so near a shore floating on water.
You have a perfect photo about this bird.

Interesting wave pattern. And the dog looks to be solving the heat problem.

What an interesting image. It is not obvious at first veiwing what it is. The water has a strange plastic like texture and the dog is indeed a picture.

The picture is so unusual. But what you write gives food for thought. Which is the happier dog (or person)?
