Summer heat is tough. But I love it because of all the sunshine and long daylight hours. Want to know what we did so far?
We blew bubbles, or rather ‘shot’ them out of a bubble gun!
We are enjoying the flowers in our little garden. And I got a little ‘bokeh’ effect going on in the background in this shot.
We are taking advantage of the long hours of daylight to spend many evenings outdoors.
The road in front of our apartment building has been cordoned-off the entire summer because of impending repairs. It is a pain to park our vehicle, but a blessing in that we have a safe spot right in front of our house to let the little one run around!
We went to the beach! Enough said!!
I experimented a little in outdoor photography in the dazzling Texas sunshine…
With mixed results! Can you say, ‘over-exposed’?!!
We visited pretty gardens.
What did you do this summer?
