Photo Blogging Challenge (July 2018): Staying cool

August 6, 2018

Another month and … late.

Ha!

This time, though, I must say that I really screwed it up because I had the wrong theme. That seems pretty silly for the person who posts the themes, doesn’t it?

Yes … yes it does.

So this month is all about staying cool. Some of the photos I took for the “other” theme I’ve been able to use here, which is nice.

Sorry for the delay on this. I don’t think we need me rambling this month!

So let’s get on with it. I’m late enough as it is! Here’s my five for the month!

1. A tall cold one!

This has to keep you cool on a hot day!

 

2. Staying hydrated

OK, this isn’t a sales pitch. But I recently got a Hydro Flash. Expensive, but so worth it. Best water bottle I’ve ever had. And it’s great when out in the heat to stay cool!

 

3. In the woods

Is there anything better than a stream like this in the woods! Definitely helps you stay cool!

 

4. Rushing water

More ways to stay cool… if you come upon something like this, stick your head in it!

 

5. Brrrrr!

When in doubt… hop in here!

 

There are my five. I look forward to seeing what everybody else came up with!

If you took part in this month’s challenge, make sure to link up below. And for those of you who participated, make sure you try and get to other people’s blogs and comment (here, too!). Let’s continue to grow this challenge and have a strong community. Come back and check out the others who link later on, too!

Also, don’t forget to get back here in the next day or so for the August theme!

NOTE: I set up a Facebook group for those who participate in the challenge and are interested. I’ll post any announcements there and hopefully it can be a place where things are discussed and some interaction etc. You can access it here.

    I love your two stream/waterfall shots. Really beautiful! Wonder if that Hydro Falsh would keep that beer cold for you? 🙂

      Funny you ask that … a couple of us stopped at a small brewery where they had these with their logo — you could get one filled with beer! I was told (by one of us that got it) that it worked very well!

    The sun flash at the bottom of the beer glass really makes that first picture for me. And as a nature enthusiast, I truly appreciate the water fall/stream shots. I’ll take wading in the creek on a hot day any time! 🙂

    Hoping all is okay on your end. Don’t worry about a running a few days behind schedule here and there. This is supposed to be fun – not stressful! Thanks for the wisely-chosen “photographer’s choice” theme for August. Looking forward to seeing the posts.

      I thought the sun flash was pretty cool, too! Everything OK on my end, just so busy. I need to start making more “me” time and start focusing on things, rather than lapsing into bad habits! I think I am finding a happy medium!

    You’ve definitely managed to keep cool!
    I thought the Ice trailer was a bit disappointing though – I was hoping for an ice cream truck as they don’t exist around here…

      Unfortunately, I don’t see many ice cream trucks around me, either!

    WordPress ate my original draft rather than posting it!

Writer who loves images just as much as words! In search of perfectly poured pints of Guinness and great hot dogs. Find me on twitter @softball29.

I guess the April Fool's joke is on us, Mother Nat I guess the April Fool's joke is on us, Mother Nature? Oh .. ha ha ha.

I also guess this is why hitting back roads to work is good -- you can stop and take a photo and not worry about anybody coming (usually)! Main roads around here are fine for now, but it's definitely quite picturesque on the lawns/trees etc.

When I covered MiLB years ago for a small daily, managers sometimes wanted my opinion or asked me to talk to the scorekeeper about changing a ruling. There should be a happy medium somewhere now being most or all teams have video/TV. That wasn’t the case with the team I covered.

Another change to the minors is in store this year.

MLB informed minor league teams they will not be allowed to appeal rulings made by official scorers this year.

@jjcoop36 explains why:

I mean, if you hold a #Wrestlemania in an open stadium... eventually rain delays had to come, right? 🤣

28 years ago The Sandlot was released and this iconic scene was brought into our lives.
