This is the gatehouse to Cooling Castle. It was built in the 1380's by John de Cobham. It is next to Cooling Castle Barn, a wedding venue.
24 Apr. 2011 Keelan (14) has had enough of being disturbed by the camera and slouches off, showing the back-pockets of his very cool jeans.
I don't recall a single care.
Just greenery and humid air.
Then Labor day came and went.
And we shed what was left of our summer skin.
"Summer Skin" - Death Cab for Cutie
Today was the first day I've been able to walk outside and not wonder if I was going to make it home as a solid substance, or if I'd melt in the process. It's October, and temperatures are still well past the 100's. I spent this evening walking around the ritzy outdoor malls of Scottsdale. 80's. Cool breeze. Then eventually some rain. It was perfect.
There is a frame of about 6 weeks when Arizona is perfect. And that time is just around the corner. Life is wonderful, my friends.
Oh, and the elevator had my initials. Copy cat. I made my best friend come with me so I didn't look like a doofus. Taking pictures in public scares me to death; don't think I'll ever get over that.

After the ''Experimental Fish and mink farm'', we went to the nearby Cooling tower's of reactor 5, and 6.
The one the picture was supposed to be finished in 1986, but work was halted after the accident. Then resumed at some point, and finally completely stopped in 1988.
The dark ring that can be seen under the scaffolding, was the top in 1986.

Equipment used: Nikon D90 with Really Right Stuff (RRF) right angle bracket, Nikkor 18-200mm VR AF-S lens, handheld.
I found these two ladies cooling their heels (literally) to get some respite from the heat! The red shoes added a bit of color.
Location: In front of Karls Kirche, Vienna, Austria.
The Cool Britannia mini in their flagship store. It really is cool!
For those not familiar with the Cool Britannia stores here's an introduction in their own words!
"Cool Britannia are the biggest and by far the coolest souvenir stores in London and the UK.
We have the largest and best range of British souvenirs, novelty goods and fashion so that you can do all of your gift shopping for loved ones in one great location. Our flagship store is on the world famous Piccadilly Circus, steps away from Eros!"
Power walking(!) through the Univ. Parks today - taking advantage of another sunny day. I came across these birds having a lovely time paddling, drinking and cooling off in the clear flowing water.
I think water must have been the "theme" today. When arriving back at my car I discovered the water bottle I'd taken with me had leaked in my bag! Everything was soaked including my camera ... will have to learn how to use the Nikon now :-o.
Just finally updated my blog and realized I hadn't added anything to here in forever, so while I had some nice ready-to-post photo's I might as well put them here too... so glad it's Christmas break. Finally able to get caught up on things. I started school this fall and totally fell off into the sidelines trying to adjust to school life again.
Did my first newborn shoot. This is the baby that was still "baking in the oven" of the maternity shoot I did. She was a total character and super cute. It was fun. Helps that her parents are really cool.
Is this a cool truck or what! Never seen Frankenstein's monster painted on a truck before. The truck was parked at the side of the road close to Ã…rsta Havsbad. The driver was checking something so I stopped and asked if I could take some photos. I don't know why but I was probably rambling on about whatever because he gave me a funny look (the driver that is, not Frankenstein's Monster).
My Balmain inspired digital mood board has been feature on The Cool Hunter.

When your hot...your hot! These are the cattle from my dad's farm cooling off! If it wasn't for the snapping turtles, water snakes, flies and bees...I might join them! lol
***Please note this is a mistake "re-posting"! Sorry to confuse all you good people ... regardless - I thank you for your kind comments and for ignoring my silliness!
AC is finally repaired!! It was beyond wonderful to open the drapes to the light again! I will try to use common sense, however, and close them against the heat of the day ... but, the morning light in my kitchen has always been one of life's gifts to me and just now I'm accepting it with gratitude and appreciation.
Special Note: No repairmen were harmed during this long, hellishly hot session in my attic. Cold tea, water, cool wet towels and fruit popsicles were awarded throughout the repair process. And much praise. And many dollars.
Morning

Salt shining behind its glass cylinder.
Milk in a blue bowl. The yellow linoleum.
The cat stretching her black body from the pillow.
The way she makes her curvaceous response to the small, kind gesture.
Then laps the bowl clean.
Then wants to go out into the world
where she leaps lightly and for no apparent reason across the lawn,
then sits, perfectly still, in the grass.
I watch her a little while, thinking:
what more could I do with wild words?
I stand in the cold kitchen, bowing down to her.
I stand in the cold kitchen, everything wonderful around me.
This photo was taken several years ago when I was on safari in Kenya and Tanzania. In the tropical heat, these Maribo storks spread their wings to cool their bodies a bit in the late afternoon heat.
