The tempietto is the centerpiece of the garden at Philbrook Museum.
A former oil baron’s mansion that he gave to the city to Tulsa way back when.
The pond in front of the tempietto used to be the swimming pool for the residence. A changing room was underneath the tempietto

I’ve been riding my bicycle more these days. I try and start in the morning to beat the 100+F heat we have been having (and are going to have for the foreseeable future.) I only go about 15 miles or so. This fountain is my turnaround spot to head back. I don’t rest at the fountain; I rest in the shade of a tree.
Stay cool everybody, find some shade.

Shadowy cool in the lobby of the former Sun Pipeline Building in downtown Tulsa on a very hot day.
It’s been hot lately, 100 F or over several days in a row. We added an extra water bowl to the two bird baths plus a fountain that we already have and we get a steady stream of customers. We have a rabbit who hangs out underneath the bench most of the day from about 9 am to 4 pm and then disappears. At first I thought it was kind of sickly but it does appear robust so maybe its a doe that has some kits stashed nearby.

A richly colored purple coneflower blossoming in the shade of our front yard.
A shadowy entrance gate to an adjoining subdivision.
On a hot day there is nothing like getting in the cool shadows of a tall tree.
Check out more shadowy things at Shadow Shot Sunday
When it’s hot and sunny you have to find the shadows or you’ll melt.
Or you can always make your own shadows!!
Shadow Shot Sunday or bust is my motto!!
I put my trailcam out last night for the first time in a long time. I checked it this morning and we had a mystery cat snooping around at 1:30 in the morning.
I haven’t been able to go hiking in the woods for a while because of all the rain we’ve had so I have been walking around Lafortune Park here in Tulsa a lot. I followed this squirrel down the trail for a 25 yards or so and he finally climbed up this pole and was looking at me chattering and flagging his tail. It was like he was saying “What!!”
I am linking with Shadow Shot Sunday and Saturdays’ Critters. Come join in the fun!!
On a tour of Tulsa’s Chandler Park, the staff showed us the dynamite shack used way back when what is now Chandler Park was a rock quarry. I love stuff like this.
