    Kids just love those fountains, don’t they? (Never pass by one as you’re walking TO church!)

    Fun shot! Oh, to be young again.

    She must get hot with that looooong hair, so the fountain would be a real relief!

    Great shot! Very evocative of childhood summer fun. :-)

    Even better than a fire hydrant!

    I’m just counting the days until my next trip to Tahoe.

    I love it when people let kids play in their fountain.

    When the Christian Science church in Boston renovated their fountain in 2005 they made it child-safe.

    Couldn’t find a good image online though.

    That looks fun! Happy WW.

    Oh, that looks cooling and welcome. It’s a crying shame that grown-ups feel as if they cannot strike a similar pose in public. ;-)

    Actually, there were a few adults playing in the fountain. It’s a lot bigger than the picture of the girl indicates.
