13 Jul a summer story
We have spent more time at the beach this summer so far than is probably good for us. The freckles on my oldest daughter’s face tell the story well. Sun, sand, salt water and lots and lots of sunscreen.

Posted at 05:50h, 13 JulyWe’ve been spending lots of time at the park as of late — I too am shocked to see his first freckles. And the scab he got a couple months ago is stark white against his tan ankles.

Posted at 11:01h, 13 JulyI’ve got family reunion photos. It doesn’t get any more summer than that around here!
Your daughter is so lovely. I can’t wait until my kids are old enough to let me photograph them without bribery. Wonderful shot!

Posted at 13:35h, 13 Julyhow true, freckles and sun- what a sweet face! I have not spent as much time as I would like at the beach. My best shot is a very green inspiration. Have a great week!

Posted at 14:15h, 13 JulyOh, I absolutely love freckles!
Summer in Chicago means outdoor music festivals, and probably the most family friendly of them all is the Old Town School of Folk Music’s Folk and Roots Festival. I had my introduction to Zumba there yesterday, and I think Cadence will want classes in the future:

Posted at 15:18h, 13 JulyOh, those freckles are awesome – I love them!
We are heading to the beach again this week – now that the *hot* part of summer has hit us here in SoCal! But our big summer news had us holding our breath last week!

Our summer has been about puppy love! Soft and sweet and short lived, like summer itself….

Posted at 15:37h, 13 JulyNot quite the beach theme but certainly it was certainly a beautiful summer night when this was shot.

Posted at 17:03h, 13 JulyI love that summer brings out freckles! This is an especially simple but gorgeous photo of yours daughters! I love that you’ve captured the most basic elements that summer brings out in us all- without it being the typical shots of sun and sand. Happy day… -e

Here’s my Best Shot – a little less ethereal.
Heather
Posted at 18:35h, 13 JulySo far my oldest is the only one that freckles in the summer like I do. She’s beautiful—a summer at the beach is like nothing else!
So far our summer story is more about getting dirty in the backyard than anything else.

Posted at 20:16h, 13 JulySeparated from my husband my 10 month old and I moved in with my parents. My son has taken such a shine to my dad that he simply squeals with delight every time he sees him. They spend a lot of time in the yard together, my baby pointing to different plants and other sites, my dad walking around and letting him touch every item:

Posted at 21:24h, 13 JulyWhat a lovely photo. As a freckle-faced, red-head myself, I always adore seeing freckles on other people.
Here are a few photos that depict my favorite things about this summer:

Posted at 03:11h, 14 JulySuch a beautiful pic of your daughter and her freckles! Reminds me of ‘me’ when I was growing up. I wish I had them now – then, just the opposite! Our summer would not be complete without the cotton candy vender! In the winter it seems like cotton candy doesn’t exist – so when summer arrives that’s the first thing we look for – even if it’s just for the smell!

Posted at 03:28h, 14 JulyYou can’t beat freckles. We have sawdust and sun rather than sand. But it’s summer just the same!

Posted at 04:31h, 14 JulyWhat a GORGEOUS portrait! 😉

Posted at 04:16h, 15 JulySummer, for me, is all about BLUE…the sky, the ocean, my beach cruiser bike, my hydrangea bush, the clear blue pool water & yummy blueberries from the farmers market (oh…and a skyblue sno-cone)!

Tells the whole story for this summer – from the kids too scared to go into the water (any water pool or ocean) to the boy playing in the waves with the smiles, laughter. Joy. It makes my heart sing.
