Summertime

Summertime
and a livin's easy...

Do Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong really mean it, or their summer differs from ours?

We submit ourselves to its mandatory visitations from April till mid-October.
What  our summer has to offer is high 90's with almost 100% humidity.
And a living is easy...

When sun is high and shadows are short & harsh,
At the Mall, Washington DC
when windows sweat just by looking at those outside,
Art Center, Savannah GA
when there is no breeze from anywhere, even hot one from Inferno,
Market Street, Savannah GA
then getting your feet cold is as good as
keeping your head cool.
Аll-consuming obsession: how to put shades on the Sun?
King Street, Charleston SC
As our momentary being starts determining our consciousness:
wine cellars as shelters start making sense,
Mills Fine Wine & Spirits, 87 Main Street, Annapolis MD
exchange your warm beer for a cold one,
Charleston's Craft Beer Store, 14 Exchange St. Charleston SC
select least of possible Coke-evils, water, for instance
Luna Park, Coney Island, Brooklyn NY
hallucinate Belgium Gelato.
In Charleston, SC
In execution of heat-defense strategy, individual styles prevail:
In National Zoo, Washington DC
In Central Park, NYC
In Central Park, NYC
In Annapolis MD
At Coney's Cones, Luna Park, Coney Island, Brooklyn NY
At the harbor, Annapolis MD
P.S. You are free to choose a summer slogan. For instance, "Don't wear a tired, thirsty face!" ( Coca-Cola 1933 or "Bottled water is for wimps!" ( Matt Rinard ). Whatever works...
