The weather is turning colder, kids are heading back to school and advertisements for pumpkin spice everything are starting to pop up around us. Summer is coming to an end… I won’t pretend to be all broken up about it, I prefer Fall and Winter myself. Even though I am eagerly looking forward to the upcoming seasons I must look back at the happiness of Summer and appreciate the season for all it gives!
As you have probably noticed, I really enjoy telling my tales in picture form. Especially topics like this! They say “A picture speaks a thousand words”, I must agree. What better way for me to share with you my experiences then to actually show you. I hope you enjoy!
Let’s start with travel!
Summer brings the itch to get outside and find beautiful sun filled adventures!
Hikes with furry pals!
Quests to find amazing sights!
Maybe cool off with a dip in the ocean!
Perhaps a ride with friends!
Or an ice cream infused walk around town!
Or any other sweet treat that abounds this time of year!
Some days all that’s needed is some playtime in your own back yard!
And of course a nap in the shade!
I personally love a good book while getting a tan!
No matter what we decide to do, clear blue skies draw us outside!
Where the colors of summer flowers are everywhere!
The unwavering sunlight spurring nature to thrive!
Fields of clover beautifully covering the dried grass if the sun gets too hot! You might just get lucky and find one with four leaves!
Summer vegetables leading themselves to fresh summer salads!
Birds and chipmunks also fill up on summer flavors!
Music seems to fill the air!
Now it is time to put away those summery citrus candles.
And start preparing for Fall!
