summer vacation:::

I love summer trips.
I love the sunshine.
I love the time with family.
I love the bike rides.
I love the fishing.
I love the naps.
I love taking time to read.
I love having Matt around all day.
I love taking photographs.
So here are a few::::

*I have to start out with one of my travel buddy

goodNight

I've never photographed the night sky before,
so I thought this trip would be as good a time as any to try it out.
It was a lovely way to spend part of the evening & I can't wait to do it again.
Looking at the big, beautiful night sky makes me realize how small we really are.
But it also makes me feel grateful to be part of something so incredible.
Even if my part is small. :)

*I really need to get a remote for my camera.
The photos have a little bit more blur than I would like.

.Happy.Weekend.

So busy, life is crazy.
In a good way.
I hope you have a splendid weekend,
& don't forget to stop and enjoy it.

I shot these back in the spring, but I couldn't help but post them.
I love the sweet smell & the simple beauty.
Sometimes I really wish I could take a photo of a smell.. .
hmmm. . .
maybe it's for the best that we can't
