Like most of the US, it’s hot here in Mammoth the last couple of days, it’s hit 84 (I know that’s not really hot). I don’t like hot, I really don’t! Sharon and I went and say our good friends in KS and that was hot. Then we went to Phoenix for a project and it was 111, but as CNN published today, these are by no means records.<\/p>\n
The world’s highest recorded air temperatures
\n1. El Azizia, Libya (136 degrees Fahrenheit)
\n2. Death Valley, California (134)
\n3. Ghadames, Libya (131)
\n3. Kebili, Tunisia (131)
\n5. Timbuktu, Mali (130)
\n5. Araouane, Mali (130)
\n7. Tirat Tsvi, Israel (129)
\n8. Ahwaz, Iran (128)
\n8. Agha Jari, Iran (128)
\n10. Wadi Halfa, Sudan (127)<\/p>\n
A bigger issue though is not the heat wave but drought which has a grip on much of the country.<\/p>\n

If you’re a wildlife photographer, this is something you can take advantage of while doing critters a favor. Water features not only help critters get through the heat, but is a free way you can attract critters to come right up to you lens. Think about light, background and approach and build your pool today. You’ll soon have friends. It’s a great weekend project.<\/p>\n
