Eliza Waters 
Sounds good on these hot summer days. 🙂
Add a gentle breeze and it’s heavenly! Thanks, Rebecca. 🙂
Lovely and cool Eliza. And today we got our first nice touch of warmth down under. Spring is only a few weeks away 🤗❤️🙏
Which means autumn is working its way here in solar opposition. Enjoy!
Well, you can dance in all those Autumn colors Eliza. And an end to those crazy heat waves if your in them 🤗❤️🙏
Restful
Merci, Sheree, it’s a nice spot to sit a spell.
I can imagine
Peaceful
Thanks, Rupali. Definitely a gift!
Having so many trees and running water on your property must be a godsend in summer. It does look nice and cool. 😃
Thank you, Cathy. One of the many blessings of this property is running water year round. Esp. appreciated on a hot day, and we’ve had many this year!
A soothing image!
Thank you for sharing, Eliza 🙂
Thank you, Sreejith!
Hi Eliza. Beam me up Scottie as we used to say. (Star Trek…) 43 Deg here and now I know how hell feels. I will dream of your stream….
MJ
OMG, that is way too hot. Do you have a stream or lake nearby to cool your core temps down?
Cool shade would definitely be a good destination this week. 🙂
When the boys were young, we spent many a hot afternoon clambering through those falls and pools. 🙂
I can almost hear the babbling of the water and smell the damp moss
Sweet spot for sure! 🙂
Exactly what we need right now. It’s been so darned hot.
Wicked, isn’t it? Do you go the Narrows Pond to cool off?
No, I’m not a swimmer. But our new heat pumps are keeping us very comfortable. What a blessing they are.
This reminds me of the spring in the hill country that continued to run even during the depths of the worst drought. It was wonderfully refreshing — and quite a destination for the birds and critters.
Thanks, Linda. This is why I don’t bother with a bird bath. They all come here. 🙂
Just looking at it cools me down.
Glad to hear it, anything to beat this heat!
Looks like a great spot to explore in these dog days of summer.
Thanks, it is one of my favorite sitting spots. 🙂
Ahh, such an inviting photo, Eliza. Thanks for taking us into the woods today.
Thank you, Jet, my pleasure!
It looks so cool, especially in the kind of hot summer we are having.
It makes a difference of 5-10º most days, and if there is a breeze, all the better!
It does look like a very pleasant place to hang out.

Thanks, Kris. I have a bench here and it is used in all seasons, a nice spot.
Such a lovely spot … for people, animals, and pollinators!
Thanks, Debbie. We really love stopping here for a sit during our walks, pure serenity.
So refreshing!
I agree! Thanks, Sandy. 🙂
Very pretty. 😉
Thank you, Pepper. 💚
Lovely, I feel cooler just looking at this scene!
Glad to hear it, Belinda!
Pretty capture of the kind of place I like to visit. Is it a stream near your garden?
Thanks, Tom. Yes, our house is to the left of this shot. The stream and waterfall clinched the deal when we bought the house 35 years ago. How can a gardener resist a natural water feature? 😀
Is this your favourite part of the property during hot summer days? It looks inviting, very pristine.
Thank you, Maria, there are a few sitting spots along our trail. Though this view is nice, but I most often stop at the chairs that overlook the river. I’ve posted them in the past: https://elizawaters.com/2024/08/24/silent-sunday-summer-awaits/
Cool…that’s music to my ears, even though the heat continues here. This gives me something to look forward to down the road. Thank you!
I hope relief comes soon for you!
Thanks. The 10 day forecast isn’t promising but we’ve got our fingers crossed. 🤞🏻
Very pretty. Reminds me of so many hikes in the northeast forests. 🙂
Thank you, Denise. Glad to bring back some good memories. 🙂
I can feel the coolness and peacefulness on this 90 degree day!🙂
Glad to share a cool respite. Fall is only a few weeks away!
A just learned about the roots of trees near running water – they are the most nurtured and the ones I am told to meditate by – listening to the running streams with our backs against one of the trees 💖💖💖some heaven on earth
Oh, yeah, for sure! 👍🏼
