I am the type to hold onto summer for as long as possible. Even when there are leaves on the ground and an undeniable chill in the air, I will still happily point to the calendar and say, “There are still three whole days of summer left. It’s summer.” Though I love oversized sweaters, fluffy socks, and anything made in a crockpot, I am never ready for the transition that comes this time of year. Fading tans and shorter days just kind of make me… sad.
What reminds me to be happy? All of the awesome things I did this summer, of course! Although I haven’t had the kind of summer vacation that comes with being a student for a couple of years now, that didn’t stop me from getting away a few times. Going to the beach was one of the season’s many highlights.
Maddie had a pretty relaxing summer, too, despite her neurotic, old-lady ways.
I went to—and survived—a long, hot music festival.
I spent plenty of time relaxing with John (and his cats) on the weekends. Funny how the Queen of Allergies appears to be the Queen of Cats. I love them despite their dander.
I enjoyed family time while my mom and sisters had their summer vacations.
And I got to shoot some awesome photos behind-the-scenes of a music video shoot. With my hot boyfriend.
Oh yeah—and one of my best friends got married! (Top photo.) Pretty amazing summer, indeed. Now, to find things worth looking forward to this fall. I’m three whole days early, but it doesn’t hurt to plan ahead.
LOVE it!
As a college student, I’m a month into fall and sooo nostalgic for summer (or life without endless readings and assignments). Your photos are all so dreamy
Yeah, I remember feeling that way, too. Now that I’m a couple years out of school, I miss it… in a weird, messed-up way.
Ah, autumn, how I miss it…for about a month. Then it’s winter, and I am okay being where I am again =] Such pretty pictures! I quite enjoyed the one with the subtle double exposure and, of course, the one with the doggie.
Yeah, autumn is nice and all, but an endless summer is better, I say.
That subtle detail in that photo couldn’t get past you! I have a whole bunch of surprise double-exposure photos like that that I plan on featuring soon. They’re SO MUCH FUN.
I’m exactly the same way. I hold on to every minute of summer, occasionally yelling at people after Labor Day “It’s still summer! I have til the 21st!!”
Love your pictures, it looks like you had a super fun season!
haha, I’m ALREADY IN fall over here. This summer was exhausting on so many levels.
Sounds like summer didn’t disappoint! Kind of can’t believe it’s coming to an end…I’m excited for fall, though! Here’s hoping it’s just as wonderful
