Beating the Heat

We are both slowing down and wanted just to have an easy time of getting out of the heat.. I think it was 104 degrees today at home. We made it eventually to upper Butte Creek... not a secluded spot but a cool one with this big rugged rooted oak above us.

 Along the way we walked along the flume above DeSabla Reservoir and cooled down in the cold waters.

 Selkie has lived a sheltered life and doesn't know how to dig herself a cool spot but she does look good in the local greenery and seems to enjoy getting wet and cool although her lab part that should love swimming isn't very highly developed.

 It was a lovely day... hopefully we didn't get poison oak and we did manage to fritter away a enjoyable day in a relaxed and summer-filled way.
