Then followed that beautiful season… Summer….
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Saturday morning edit: After visiting sunndaytodaymama and learning about Folding Laundry’s You Capture’s Summer carnival, I decided it would be fun to participate with this post.







On hot June mornings, Annabelle and I wander over to Reston’s Lake Anne to see what’s happening. It’s often hot, always fun, and never without a bit of magic.

Cool post, just subscribed.
Looks like a great time and you made them timeless in black and white. Great Captures.
I can’t believe you used that quote yesterday. I found it this morning on a quotations site looking for a summer quote and included it on my sunday stroll invitation. It really resonated with me! I love the photos you included along with it. Perfect!

Life with Kaishon, thank you for the well wishes. I too hope for a sunny summer and lots and lots of fun, :-) I’ll be heading over to your blog to check out your “You Capture” too.
Oh, I just adore your pictures of summer! They are so perfect. Your daughter is lovely! I hope your summer is filled with lots of sunshine and many wonderful moments!
