Evaporation
Today I was cleaning out some coolers for use this weekend, and as a result I had dumped a bunch of water on the blacktop of the driveway. I found myself paused to admire the beauty of it evaporating off. It wasn't that hot, even touching the blacktop, but it was warm enough especially spread thin on black surface in the sunshine.
It reminded me of when I was a kid and I would spend hours playing with snow on warm spring days. By placing it in different layers of snow thickness on pavement, you could post with how much it melted versus sublimated. I remember the delight and fascination vividly. Maybe such things don't completely change.
