Man with the heat that we in the South and Southern Plains have been getting... that looks very inviting!
They say Dallas averages 16 days/year of 100+ degree temperatures. If that's the case... then we are going to get rid of 6 of those days this week.
Phew...

Actually a branch Bill, Henley's Branch to be exact. But it has some nice rock formations and some nice holes about two foot deep. Not cold water like mountain water, but cool, because it's always running and always shaded. With the rain we have had of late, it is a little deeper than usual.
This isn't the deep south, but it is the south and it is currently 88° F with the humidity in the 80% range. I can guarantee if we have another 70° F day time temp before September, it'll be during a hurricane of tropical storm. Still beats that humidity down Pointy31's way and that of Dallack and Houton! Not the Smokies tobob, a little further to the east in the Piedmont, a south-central ghost town named Danville, VA. All cities have their fair share of ugly, but the country and the common people are pretty in any nation of the world where civilized people live.
On the shot, I was sitting in one of the cool holes (I walk in very loose fitting swimming trunks) and sit my camera on a flat rock located near me. I sit the camera shutter to auto-12-sec and used an ISO of 100 to get a good long exposure action shot. I really need a mini-tripod. I have a large one, but it is too big for my hike. I know that sounds like a wuss, because Ansel Adams lugged huge, heavy camera equipment all over the Rockies and West Coast!
