Cool Aqua

Aqua.  Water.   Blue.   Ice.   Lagoon.  Green.   Shade.
I'm just trying to focus my mind on cool things.
Cuz the sun is blazin' hot outside.   Again.

The heart shaped bowl on the left is by Kansas potter, Shawn Voth.
The planter in the back is Shawnee "Flower And Fern".
And the pot on the right was made by my sister, "Sunshine", in high school.

    Love the aqua photo-the flower pot with the flower embossed on it is my favorite.

    So pretty. It's hot here too, so I'm staying inside with the AC on!

    Those are great colors! My red kitchen isn't quite doing it for me in this hot weather. LOL! I love red, but it sure doesn't help you feel cool!

    Love your attempt. It's definitely been the summer of extreme heat and temps. It was over 100 on the way home from work. MI shouldn't feel like AZ. Crazy.

    Such pretty, cool, watery colors - although we have 57 degrees and rain up here in the Pacific Northwest today - it just won't stop raining. We are getting some glorious summer days between the rain storms - it is a perfect summer.

    The best of this colour makes me think of cool rain on a hot summer day.
