I'm not sure this really conveys "hot" but it certainly was a hot day and we were beating the heat. I nearly submerged my completely un-waterproof point and shoot camera for this one. I'm guessing the voters will rip me apart for this one but I love how in-your-face it is from a rather unusual angle. I also like the bright colors and the goofy expression.
This is my first submission from my point and shoot camera.
