Must admit I can't even begin to imagine how you bear the heat - I wilt at 25 degrees centigrade!!<br /><br />Interesting about the Canada Geese - they are so "common" over here.

I don't think I'd venture out for more than a few minutes at a time with temperatures like that - unless it was to find premises with aircon. Thankfully, in UK where temperatures over 100 are uncommon and few homes have aircon, I've not felt the need to do this very often - but I have done occasionally, even if it's only to take a relieving drive in the car.Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-40855973772167810522014-06-11T00:58:35.738-07:002014-06-11T00:58:35.738-07:00I love your photos from ComicCon.

It's a lovely shot of th Red-faced Warbler - one I never heard of, but if you need a Canada Goose we have lots of the nuisance birds here in the UK. In some parts the Canadas are culled - now there's irony. <br /><br />In answer to your question Chris.
