Dallasites have tons of places to dip their feet into and cool off during summer, but we're not talking about the sparkling pool at your Uptown condo. Well, this time.

The DMN recently put together a list of a dozen great Texas swimming holes, some of which aren't that far away and are well worth the day trip. That's Hamilton Pool Nature Preserve near Dripping Springs pictured above, and after taking in the scene, who wouldn't want be that guy leaping gloriously off a rock. In slow motion.

Especially if you're sitting in a chair at your desk. In your cubicle. And your boss just caught you playing Text Twist. And you can just taste the cold beer bottle on your lips and smell the grill cooking... and is that coconut suntan lotion?

AAAAAAAH! OK, I'll stop. I'll stop.
