Outside our block in Varketili (Tbilisi) is a water fountain.

On a hot summer’s day it is a magnet for thirsty children.

But it is not just children drawn to the cool water.

Horses get thirsty too, and not just mammals but also our avian friends, the little sparrows like to take a sip now and then.

I’ve seen dogs drinking here, too. But have yet to get a photo.
