Inspired by Rebecca (the Other One)

I was inspired today by this beautiful blog to post my pictures from some recent water play in our backyard. Becky is taking an e-class in photography called "Picture Summer," which features a new prompt each day. This was the most recent one:

Whether it is the deep blue sea, a refreshing pool (any size will do), or the spray of sprinklers: water is one way to keep your cool during the summer months. Today, stage something splashy and capture your ultimate cool-down routine.

Many of our summer days include some kind of splashing, whether it's in the pool, lake, creek or sprinkler. J was watering plants yesterday, and the kids wanted to be sprayed. The golden, late-afternoon sunlight shining through the water was so striking, I couldn't resist grabbing my camera.
