Martin: Daniel in the creek leading out of the Roman Sulphur baths of Hedonia. Situated near the coastal town of Manilva, on the road down from Casares. The baths are now run down but have been in use for at least two thousand years when the Romans set up permanent structures to use the sulphur rich spring waters, and wow, does the place stink of hydrogen sulphide. Julius Caesar even made use of the baths when he was governor of Southern Spain. It was mid-afternoon on a Thursday when we turned up and we had the place to ourselves. We were thinking of a nice hot spa when told of our trip to the baths. The water might as well have contained ice cubes floating along down stream. It was freezing but even a short dip left your skin feeling somehow different. Ruth's silver chain and ring changed colour almost instantly from contacting the water but at least it was only a surface effect.   

Me: Harley took Bob and I to "Dog Day" at the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden. Can you tell Harley is happy? All smiles for her as there were dogs everywhere & unlimited treats offered to her from local dog vendors. It was a beautiful afternoon to walk around the gardens and practice shots with my new camera apps and editing tools.
