98 degrees in the shade

Summers in the South can be sweltering. Temps hover around 98 for days on end and the humidity can be just as high. There's just no relief to be found - and it's still 98 degrees in the shade. This photo was taken several years ago, during the hottest part of August, at Audubon Acres in the East Brainerd area of Chattanooga, TN. So far this Summer we haven't had many days in the upper 90's. But there's still August.
