Ah, summer. A time of grassy green fields and abundant flowers. A time of heat and humidity; long, lazy days exploring the world. This image is a summer vacation image, from outside of Amsterdam last year. I love the peaceful, country feel of it. Don’t you just want to find a patch of grass under a shady tree near here and enjoy the afternoon? Maybe with a book along, a cool drink and of course, a camera. That is happiness.
Summer is also the time of vacations, and we are going on one yet again. Tonight we leave for a week in Switzerland, so I’ll be disappearing from here for a bit while I go capture new images of new places. I love it! So much creative fuel. I’ve scheduled a couple of posts for next week so check back – or sign up for the site feed if you haven’t already, since that’s the easiest way to get updated when there are new posts.
Until I’m back, happy travels to all!

I love sitting outside and enjoying the countryside view…makes me think of Victorian days, reading some literature and sipping cold tea 🙂
Going on an adventure like that would make me very, very happy too! Lovely photograph, totally love hanging out with nature.
Right down the road from us are a row of trees that when it gets hot, cows come from virtually nowhere and shade themselves. It is the coolest thing. Have a great vacation, will be here with Diet Coke and a big smile!
Lovely idea to go sit under a tree and just kick back. I look forward to seeing your Swiss photos. Happy travels to you!
Have a wonderful break – I envy you being in those mountains!
Oh, Switzerland sounds wonderful! Have a fantastic trip!
Have a wonderful vacation! I'm sure you will find great photo opportunities, too. Switzerland is supposed to be gorgeous! 🙂
You lucky girl, off on a trip again, bring back loads of photos 🙂
oh! have so much fun! 🙂
I love the way you write about summer! Have a lovely merry happy trip to Switzerland! Love to you!
