Today’s Daily Shoot assignment is:

Refresh from the summer heat today. Make a photo of water in motion. Freeze it or let it blur!

 

As a little front came through the area bringing rain and a few white caps on the Gulf, this guy appeared to thoroughly enjoy the refreshing break from the 90+ degree summer heat! 8th Ave S & Gulf of Mexico, Naples, FL

Lychee Sorbet with Hibiscus gelee.

 

Notes: While both the lychee sorbet and the Hibiscus gelee were distinct by themselves, when eaten together, the lychee dominated. A most refreshing palate cleanser!

Well-crafted beers, under the generous penumbra of a tent, were a refreshing anodyne on a hot and humid Sunday afternoon.

theres few things better than a slice of lime in a cold glass of water

When it is almost 100 outside, this rain is most welcome!

Trying to tap that "inner creativity"... doesn't come easy.

 

My favourite close up of the set. She has in cheap acryllic eyes, but I love them so much.

On the 25th May 2019 I had booked a coach trip to visit Gloucester Tall Ships to be held in Gloucester Docks, a wonderful part of this City’s old and historic part. Gloucester use to be part of the old Mercia Region of Great Britain. Gloucester is a city and district in the county of Gloucestershire it lies in the South West of England, of which it is the county town. Gloucester lies close to the Welsh border, on the River Severn, between the Cotswolds to the east and the Forest of Dean to the southwest. The country's most inland port has seen a regeneration program in the last decade, more visibly at the city's historic docks. It was in 1963 when I visited this beautiful City while I was in the Royal Navy and stayed with my best friend at the time we visited Cookes Cafe in Westgate Street with all his friends.

Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum, Custom House the Docks, 31 Commercial road, Gloucester GL1 2HE. I returned to this area of Gloucester on another visit on the 2nd August 2019. It was certainly less busy after my visit on the 25th May 2019 when the Tall Ships event was in full swing. This museum’s staff were very courteous and helpful. They had a small cafe area outside the Museum itself with tables outside which was pleasant enough on this very hot and sunny day. It was a bit hot inside under the glassed area. Inside the Museum itself were arranged in small rooms too small really to be able to take decent photos and videos. But that’s how it was it was an old warehouse and they made best use of what they had. The displays were arranged with thought for what was not really a very large museum but was certainly worth the money of Senior Citizen rate of £4.00. I thought this was a fair price to pay for what was on display. There were a number of floors to wander around on and it was well documented as you took the time to stroll around, for those that liked to read the history of the display settings.

National Waterways Museum Gloucester, Llanthony Warehouse, Gloucester GL1 2EH. I visited this Museum on Friday the 2nd August 2019. It looked impressive from the outside. Even Reception looked welcoming. Then the facia was laid open. The staff on reception were ok they explained the tickets purchased were for a whole years return visit. I would not want ( at the moment ) any return visit to this boring and hotch potch museum. I was told there were three floors of exhibits. But the second floor could only be visited by using the lift the stairs were being repaired. Fair enough you might add. But when you got to the second floor. There was nothing really worth seeing. Mainly items for kids to play on, which in itself was ok if there was enough to see otherwise. There was not. It was very disappointing what was there to see on this floor. The first two floors were ok but when you stood back and looked around there was not that much to really occupy you spending much time here. I can understand they may well be still putting together this museum. But the charge of £7.50 was way too high for what was on display at that time. It was really a total let down for me after the effort to return to this beautiful part of Gloucester docks and Quays. It was refreshing to be able to walk round after my visit on the 25th May 2019 while the Tall Ships display was on. This part of Gloucester is worth the visit on its own though and this museum is situated in a beautiful area of the Gloucester Docks.

Finally ending up at a newly acquired cafe called Brimbles Cafe in Westgate Street near St Nicholas' Church end and directly opposite the Gloucester Town Hall. This was a lovely little cafe that served great snacks and the staff were equally great. There was a very attractive floral display you could sit enclosed in to enjoy your coffee.

 

Decided to crop this one a little tighter on the water drops.

{ Refreshing }

A fun, modern wedding stationery theme, built around a pair of kissing seahorses surrounded by contemporary geometric patterns.

It was so refreshing to drive along the little highway in the Musselshell river valley surrounded by distant mountains. It was a gorgeous summer evening. We drove into tiny Two Dot Montana and the town was fairly quiet. There was a crowd at the bar and someone working on the school building preparing it for students to come pouring in in a matter of days. All you could hear was the "thud thud thud" of his hammer against the quaint old school building. And so we drove through town--it is a lovely little town and this history? More than fascinating!

 

"Twodot was named for "Two Dot" Wilson, local a cattleman who got his nickname because his brand was two dots placed on the shoulders and hips of his cattle and horses, which made it very difficult for a thief to alter the brand.

 

Two Dot was never one for dressing up, and one time in Chicago, having arrived with a load of cattle, he was arrested for vagrancy because he was so dirty and unkempt. He asked the policeman to accompany him to the bank, and when it was verified that Wilson had just deposited more than $10,000 he was set free. The incident had begun as a practical joke. A couple of cowhands who had accompanied Wilson to Chicago thought it would be fun to play a trick on the boss—they were the ones who pointed him out to police as a vagrant. But Two Dot found out about their conspiracy and went them one better—he took the next train home and left them in Chicago with neither money nor a return ticket. (from Cheney's Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company)

 

Two Dot was built in 1900. The Jawbone Rail Road arrived in the fall of 1899 and the town of Big Elk, a few miles to the south, was moved to the rail head and became Two Dot." -visitmt.com

Kalannie

Wheatbelt- Western Australia

 

I attended the recent WAPF event, held on the outskirts of the wheatbelt at Kalannie. I headed down to this drainage ditch, where I had to stand through a brief bit of rain. It was well worth the 5min of wet, because straight after the rain, the sun came out with some amazing light! This combined with the rain brought out the incredible colours that this region is known for!

 

Nice simple scene, but something still draws me strongly to it. Haven't quite worked it out yet myself haha. So hopefully you'll help me out on that side of things :-)
