I noticed this Kiskadee coming to the pool and making several runs at cooling itself off in the late afternoon heat. Looked refreshing- so after I took this image I did the same thing!

This is so cool. Pun intended Chuck. The water drops are crystal clear, and you froze the action superbly.

Love it. Easy to lose focus with all that flying water, but it looks like you nailed it. Very nice.

The blue of the water gives a nice "cooling" effect

A great stop-action shot, Charles! Love all the flying water droplets and the right parts of the bird are in focus. It definitely looks refreshing enlightened
