This vernal pool formed during a January thaw at Distant Hill Gardens. It is one of five vernal pools found along the Distant Hill Gardens nature trail.
This is seriously on the side of my pool...
I can not describe how many people have done a double take while climbing in.

With waterfront development pushing ahead like a drunken bull in a china shop, this site will eventually be destroyed and the concrete slabs supposedly dumped into Lake Superior to reclaim land to build a new marina.
It's almost sad that all of the hard work that has been put into these concrete art pieces by grassroots local artists will be destroyed to make way for more corporate gains, private development and more slips for rich folks' sailboats.
Can't stop progress I suppose.
This is the infinity pool at ME hotel in Cancun. It was really nice, but we only spent the last night there. It was probably a little too nice actually.
Surprisingly, when the weather turns hot, we long for shade and water. Many of our favourite sites include water in one form or another. It was a pleasure to discover this public oasis of peace and calm in Malaga's city centre.
In climbing the hill and admiring the castles, we had encountered our fair share of glorious sunshine. On our return to the lower levels, it was delightful to discover our way back went through this beautifully laid out park. It was full, to our eyes, of exotic trees and shrubs and vibrant coloured flowers.
This pool, with its constantly moving middle, gave an illusion of stillness. A perfect place to stop, contemplate, reflect and renew our energy. Eventually, the little footbridge over the escaping streamlet encouraged us to explore further.
A swimming pool at a hotel in Malaga. I like the contrast of the light and the night and how artificial the scene looks.
Turquoise Pool is a hot spring in Midway Geyser Basin.
The colour blue is so saturated turquoise that on this fine day when I took the image it looks so surreal within the landscape.
The Hayden expedition of 1878 named this pool, Turquoise Pool and so apt it was then and is now!
Black Pool, northern Lower Group, West Thumb Geyser Basin, Yellowstone Hotspot, northwestern Wyoming, USA in August 2011 (looking ~SE).
Black Pool is a very hot, moderately deep, irregularly-outlined, and intensely blue- to deep turquoise-colored. It was formerly a deep greenish-black color, from the presence of yellowish extremophile bacterial mats on the pool walls and floor. Subsequent natural heating of this feature has knocked out most of the bacterial mats. Abundant, suspended, <0.5µ-sized, colloidal silica particles are responsible for the blue coloration of the water.
In 1991 and 1992, Black Pool had atypical activity, coinciding with activity at nearby Abyss Pool (see above). One explosive eruption here in August 1991 involved the forceful detachment and nearby deposition of geyserite clasts. Boiling water domes up to 3 feet high were present in the pool after that eruption, accompanied by significant overflow.
Small eruptions also occurred at Black Pool in 1992.
The above photo shows the edge of Black Pool in August 2011 - nicely formed, loose and coalesced nodules of grayish-colored geyserite are present in the shallowest portions of the Black Pool. The brownish-black areas are bacterial mats.
This is one of my personal favorite of my photos. It was taken in the Dominican Republic about 2 years ago. My son and I traveled there for a week as a college graduation present to myself, this was before I met my husband. We spent a week flopped by the pool, taking photos, and reading books. This was a little peice of joy I got to bring home and frame quite large. :)
