Capturing Summer

I’m in a bit of a panic. I’ve started to notice that the sun is setting earlier, and I don’t want to even think of a time when it won’t be summer. There’s so much we want to do; a weekend on Martha’s Vineyard, another trip to North Fork Long Island wine country, nights on Spectacle Island, and endless hours of boating. I know there’s still time; I just hate the feeling that summer is slipping away after I so look forward to it all year. I can’t even believe the Tour de France is already over!

To keep in the moment, I’ve been taking tons of pictures to capture everything I love about summer. It’s been a great one so far; I look forward to savoring every second!

Taking the swan boats with my niece and nephew was a highlight of my summer so far. They loved it!

Nantasket Beach is a great option and so close to Boston. The sand is soft, there are very few rocks and shells, and the water is clear. If you don’t feel like driving far from Boston

How’s your summer going?
