Toes getting wet from the waves, and finding this scene. That's the same tree that is in the Tree and Moon shot that I took at sunset 2 nights earlier.

Some lemon/lime soda in a glass with lemon and lime bits. Of course I had a taste after, it was very very bitter but would have been great on a hot summer day.

(Style "Swirls", Col. Turquoise / Collection RED HALO)
Turquoise is a slightly greenish shade of cyan.
The color is based on the gem turquoise and the name comes from the French word for Turkish.
In holistic medicine, this color has a calming effect on patients and is particularly used to treat patients prone to depression, panic attacks or mania.
The turquoise' cheerful colour is said to endow reticent personalities with more confidence.
In the ancient Persian kingdom turquoises were often worn on the turban, and often surrounded with pearls, in order to protect their wearer against the 'evil eye'.
As talismans, they adorned daggers, sabres and the bridles of horses.
The Aztecs in Mexico used to decorate their ceremonial masks with this stone which was holy according to their beliefs.
The Indians of North America believe that the sky-blue gemstone opens up a direct connection between the sky and the sea.
At all times and over the world, turquoises have been worn as natural protection against the powers of darkness.
A turquoise is often given as a gift, a stone of friendship, it is said to be responsible for faithfulness and constancy in relationships.
Its colour makes people feel happy and cheerful, for in it the light blue of the sky and the stimulating green of the sea are combined.

Open water in Clerkenwell is not easy to find, the River Fleet, having become little more than an open sewer, was covered over more than 160 years ago. Few parks or gardens seem to have any water features which begs the question as to what foxes drink.
This summer they will not have had any problems since the rain has been plentiful and the puddles many. Yesterday, the puddles seemed to offer another chance to try and catch foxes' reflections but by the foxing hour, of course, the puddle I had in mind had shrunk to a shadow of its breadth in the afternoon. However there was just enough to experiment with a couple of foxes obliging.
