“like a ballet of water”

fountain4 — As we walked past the cold section in the supermarket tonight, my adopted son Jerry handed me back the shopping basket, leapt into the air and said “*I can’t carry this now Tita Mel, I have to do my ballet*” and then danced off into another aisle. He told me later as I stopped to photograph the beautiful fountain outside, it was a *ballet of water.* I think he’s right too.
