S is for Summer…
… S is for the social butterflies that gather by the lake.
(Look to the left of the photo – I love the joy of that man laughing.)
… For the serenity of another dazzling sunset.
… And for skipping stones in pajamas on a warm summer night.

I like them all, but that first photo is fantastic. The silhouettes of the trees, people, and motorcycle, with that gorgeous natural backdrop, make for a perfect composition.

Wow! WoW-WoW! I Always sa it when I visit your site. My human says he’ love to see what you would do with some of the scenes he sees in the outdoors here. Of course, its tough to make a gator like the one on my last post look pretty no matter what! Still it would be neat to see what you’d do.

Nice form with the stone skipping. Our summers have always included this great way to spend times–we even know which places around us have the best stones for the most jumps.
August 16, 2011 at 05:15
Your photos are so very beautiful. Thank you.
August 16, 2011 at 05:21

Underbara bilder! Det ser lite ut som om den skrattade mannen är på väg att ge hon vid trädet en puss

Hi there – if childhood is not about skipping stones in your PJ’s then something is missing.
Splendid.

August 16, 2011 at 13:54
Gorgeous captures as always in your world. The little spontaneous moments that often go unnoticed are sometimes the very best. I love the perfect ripple that the boy has made in the water. What a perfect shot for him and for you, too!
