Day #1

My Disdain for the Texas Heat

THE BOAT RAMP IS CLOSED

Perhaps this beginning photo is more about what I am not and what I do not like than who I am and what I do like.

And this has pushed me to once again join in a monthly challenge in an attempt to get the creative juices flowing.

July and August have been brutal months.
The heat does not quit and it is too hot to go outside for long to shoot. Mostly 98-104°F day in and day out.
It has always amazed me that these are the months that the Texans plan picnics, concerts, and a myriad of other outdoor activities.

Can you believe that I actually get tired of seeing the sun? For some, I know that is hard to believe but a cool rainy day would be a welcome relief!

Nice view on the bay.

I hope no one tries to dive in at night ;-)

So nice to have a fellow Texan in our challenge. Our boat ramp looks like this too. I'm hoping we get a SMALL tropical storm to bring the rain.

I can imagine how you get fed up with the hot weather
great scene to illustrate your whine

Beautiful scene! Sorry about the high heat. We have had a lot of days in the 90's but have not had triple digits this year.

Those are temps typical of our Aussie weather too, Fay. I'm no longer a fan of summer and dread it's arrival!!
Nice to see water here.

I can't image heat like that. We had a heatwave (by Irish standards) this summer and I found myself seeking the shade.

Oh Fay - 28C / 82F is toooo hot for me and that's about as hot as it gets here. I have another Texan friend who often comments on the heat.
And hopefully we will enjoy this months challenge and get to past us some wet day photos!!
