A lovely Sunday morning in North Texas

I was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper poolside when our Mockingbird decided he wanted a drink in the birdbath. It’s already 90 degrees Fahrenheit, we are in for a stretch of hot, hot weather. It’s so early in the year for this blistering heat.

Nice capture, Lou Ann.
A hot Sunday in my part of the world too, but it's raining now and I hear thunder...

[Diana]

It looks fabulous Lou Ann, the climate is going haywire all over.

[Mave]

Hot!! Like your popping colour

[Henri Russell]

Beautiful morning to set poolside. Nice capture and composition.

[Diana Moss]

[Carole Sandford]

Beautiful composition. Sounds the perfect way to spend Sunday morning!

[Babs]

What a lovely birdbath.

[Danette Thompson]

Looks lovely.

Great pov and a sweet catch.

[Islandgirl]

Pretty mockingbird..................oh no that is too hot for me!

[Gayle]

I really like your POV for this photo...it's like we're peeking through the flowers at the mockingbird. As I've mentioned before, I think it's awesome that the mockingbirds visit your yard every day. :-)
Blistering heat certainly does describe it! It was over 100 degrees here today. I took my photos before noon and I've been inside ever since. I got a bit sunburned when I went kayaking Friday (even with sunscreen on) and it's still very uncomfortable out in the sun/heat. We're leaving for Canada on June 12th...I'll definitely appreciate the cooler temps up north if this extreme heat continues here in Texas. :-)

Flowers add some lovely color - looks like we're both in for refilling the bird bath on a daily basis with these temperatures. Hated hearing the a/c come on by 8:30 this morning - (and I have it set at 80!) Don't think this is going to be a nice summer. Keep looking online for some place to visit that is cooler :)

[Lou Ann]

@gaylewood oh my, I envy you! Canada! How wonderful. Yes, we are pretty worried about our water restrictions, our green grass won’t be green for long. We can water twice a week! I do look forward to your Canada photos!

@pamknowler @gijsje @ludwigsdiana @mave @henrir @snowy @carole_sandford @onewing @danette @mittens @radiogirl @gaylewood @milaniet Thank you so much for your wonderful comments, I know you commiserate with me about our terribly hot weather, when you add our high humidity it really makes our days pretty miserable! My goodness, this showed up on the PP. Thank you so much.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I like how the Petunias are framing the picture too. Stay cool if you can!

[Call me Joe]

Wonderful capture,I could tell the garden looks lovely even I don’t see the whole yards😇

[Nicole Campbell]

I hope you managed to stay cool despite the high temperatures

[Valerie Chesney]

Beautiful capture. so very hot.

[Susan.T.]

This is a lovely little scene.
I really like the bird bath too.
A nice dash of colour.

[Wendy]

A gorgeous garden! I really like how you composed this shot with the petunias in the foreground acting as a natural frame for the birdbath. A FAV!
