Blue Waters

This may look idyllic but in temps of 44dgC (111degF) the sand and the tiles around the pool were red hot. My choice of bare feet was the wrong one!
This was a resort by the Colorado River and in spite of a large casino inside, it was a family resort and didn't get cleaned every day! Sand in little pools on the carpet everywhere!

[Taffy]

You certainly make it look idyllic!

[Allison Williams]

You are right. It looks idyllic. We are having a hot spell in Richmond, VA at 99F which is downright mild compared to your temperatures.

Beautiful light and color to the image and I think I see the shadow of a famous photographer in the sand!

[Maggiemae]

You are very perceptive, Katy - probably me, trying not to get sand in my shoes!

[Maggiemae]

@allie912 Walking in these temps, is like walking in an oven!

[Maggiemae]

@taffy Photos are neither hot or cold, - but take it from me, this is one hot one!

[Rosie Kerr]

Looks so idyllic, though!

[Daisy Miller]

Beautiful shot with beautiful colors. It is hot here too, but I do not have sand in the carpet.

[Leslie]

what a great view....

[Maggiemae]

@daisymiller Carpet or shoes... it is not an advantage in good clean living, Daisy!

[Dawn]

Looks great compared to what we have here currently

[Pam Knowler]

It looks beautiful but would be far too hot for me!

[Delwyn Barnett]

It does look amazing, but that is seriously warm!

[FBailey]

I feel for your feet but it does indeed look idyllic ...

[Beryl Lloyd]

Beautiful image and edit !

[Valerie Chesney]

They should use this in their brochure....lovely image..

[Debby Davies]

Simply beautiful scene fav

[Bep]

This looks beautiful, but far too hot for me...

[Dinah Pinkston]

It looks like a beautiful place, but far too hot to be outdoors!

[summerfield]

your processing gives this shot almost a 3D effect. nice!

[Kerri]

Beautiful

[Ann H. LeFevre]

We've been having our own heat wave- but I'll take dry heat over our hot and humid fare any day. Good shot.

[Rick Schies]

Oh wow, a wonderful water spot, and it looks so quiet

[Babs]

It did look idyllic until you mentioned 44 degree heat. Your feet must have been burning walking on the sand in that heat.

[CC Folk]

Your photo is very inviting and water looks so blue and cool...an oasis mirage out in the desert! :)

[Maggiemae]

@gardenfolk From above in a plane or ... a drone - it would be a mirage of colour!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Wonderful shot

[Helen Jane]

just too hot. I can imagine how that felt on your feet. No doubt a lot of jumping from one foot to another!
