Too little is trouble. Too much is trouble. Too hot or cold can be a problem. Yet we can't live without it. We are water based organisms on the water planet. The illustration is snow melt on the street beneath the Arch. See how wet other City Daily Photo members are at https://citydailyphoto.org/2026/06/23/july-theme-water/
There were lots of other children playing in Citygarden's splash fountains while Ellie was there. The water jets go some distance back from the focal distance of this photo. They dance, they are choreographed, their rise and fall follow unpredictable patterns. Mrs. C and I wondered how someone gets the job of water choreographer or fluid engineer. If you have ever been to Las Vegas and seen the fountains in front of The Bellagio, you know what I mean.
One of the recurring motifs in the circus performance was these three men, dressed in tuxedo jackets and shirts, but one of them wore matching bicycle shorts and one was a dwarf. They served as the connection between acts but threw in some comedy of their own. Here they each held a bottle of water. They would suck down a mouthful and spray it back out in various funny poses. Use your imagination.
