Hot Summer Days in High Park. Also - what is this fruit?

I hope that your summer is interesting and enjoyable. We are experiencing a real Canadian heat wave. I feel approximately like the dog you'll encounter below. I would give anything to sit in the water all day. If only I had such an opportunity.

 

The owner took a long time calling her. After a while, with a highly indisposed expression, she proceeded to climb out of the cool, refreshing stream.

If you get out of the house, and take a walk down to the lake, you would get to see some beautiful views.

Somebody is splashing around in the water.

And somebody else, growing weary of the heat, flies away to the north.

You can see that not everyone is awfully welcoming in High Park.

When you really need that zoom lens, it just happens to be the time you left it at home.

It turned out that there were some little racoons living in the hollow tree. It could fit the mother raccoon along with five or six babies.

Now the question - what is this fruit? This happens to artists from time to time - we might buy a fruit because we are so very taken by its colour and form, with no idea what it is, or what you could eat it with. Help! Does anybody know what it is?

In the end, a delicious punch that I learned how to make from my blogger friend - the 50 best punch recipes

Stay cool!
