When it's 42C, this is one of the best ways to stay cool and have fun. The water coming out of the hose, though, is probably only slightly cooler. In Saudi Arabia, cold water coming out of the tap is an unusual luxury. In winter the daytime temperature is still 25C.

That looks like fun. Did the camera manage to stay dry?

@Michael Rawluk: Thanks, Michael. Yes, I managed to keep it just out of reach of the water.
She has a lovely expression, like it is most refreshing!! Nice:o)

Gorgeous image. She looks so happy and I love the way you captured the water - looks like I could get wet just by reaching out my hand!

@Inés: Super comment. Many thanks, Ines.
Totally blissful; a perfect capture of childhood at its best.
16 Jan 2008 6:46am
@Viewfinder: Wonderful comment. Many thanks.
Pure, innocent experience of joy is what you captured here, at least I feel it that way. She radiates: let it simply pass and enjoy it, we can learn from her. Her facial expression is the same you also see of enlightened meditating adults.
16 Jan 2008 7:02am
@Illuci: I'm sure that children in play experience those same enlightened feelings. Great comment you offered, Illuci. Thank you.
She looks so happy.

@Paulski: Many thanks, Paulski.
Such a wonderful, warm moment...now it's even more special considering the surroundings. I said it yesterday and say it again, you have a lot of courage...being afraid and staying and helping makes you even more courageous than I thought!
16 Jan 2008 8:09am
@Lorraine: Such a wonderful comment, Lorraine. Thank you. Perhaps as you mention, feeling the fear and acting anyway is a reasonable definition of courage.
Great moment to capture! 25C in winter! I'm jealous! :)
16 Jan 2008 8:30am
@alla: Many thanks, Alla, for the remark.
Another fun shot! We too get 25ºC in winter, but there is a little minus in front, haha...

Artistic and refreshing. The joy shining on the skin in drops of water. After all the happiness is wet and colourless! :))
