Phew ! what a scorcher !!!
Been pretty hot over here, unless you don't call 38°C in the shade hot 
With weather like this there's only one solution,our salvation flows just behind those trees,

Our secret passage,

A quick crossing to an island before we get to the main river

waiting for the off....

Let the splashing begin,




& when the old fella is fed up throwing sticks, just standing with your feet in the water has a lot going for it,

When the mutt has finished splashing around like a rhino & peace returns to the river, the banded damselflies move in


The obligatory selfie,

A little play on the way back to dry off a bit


Then it was home for some well earned tucker
Properly trained, a man can become a dog's best friend.
