a summer story
Sunday, July 12, 2009 at 9:16PM 
We have spent more time at the beach this summer so far than is probably good for us. The freckles on my oldest daughter's face tell the story well. Sun, sand, salt water and lots and lots of sunscreen.

We've been spending lots of time at the park as of late -- I too am shocked to see his first freckles. And the scab he got a couple months ago is stark white against his tan ankles.
Here is my best shot for the week. It's the beach on the Balboa Peninsula.

I've got family reunion photos. It doesn't get any more summer than that around here!
Your daughter is so lovely. I can't wait until my kids are old enough to let me photograph them without bribery. Wonderful shot!
We are so happy to finally have some sun!!! My BSM here.
What an enchanting photo!!! Delicate...
My summer shot -- is Fried Flowers: Fried Flower Blossoms
A lot (too much) of our summer has been spent inside ... looking out.

how true, freckles and sun- what a sweet face! I have not spent as much time as I would like at the beach. My best shot is a very green inspiration. Have a great week!
Oh, I absolutely love freckles!
Summer in Chicago means outdoor music festivals, and probably the most family friendly of them all is the Old Town School of Folk Music's Folk and Roots Festival. I had my introduction to Zumba there yesterday, and I think Cadence will want classes in the future:

One of Those Days
Oh, those freckles are awesome - I love them!
We are heading to the beach again this week - now that the *hot* part of summer has hit us here in SoCal! But our big summer news had us holding our breath last week!
What a lovely shot!
Our summer has been about puppy love! Soft and sweet and short lived, like summer itself....
Not quite the beach theme but certainly it was certainly a beautiful summer night when this was shot.
As I Wait
hmmm...didn't quite code it correctly. Sorry Tracey.
As I Wait
We've been having a blast this summer ... and I am reminded that we can and should fit in more fun! Here are some shots from our recent vacation http://dandelionseedsanddreams.blogspot.com/2009/07/best-shot-monday-playtime.html
I love that summer brings out freckles! This is an especially simple but gorgeous photo of yours daughters! I love that you've captured the most basic elements that summer brings out in us all- without it being the typical shots of sun and sand. Happy day... -e

anyone who would be kind enough to tell me the CORRECT way of posting here... it would be so greatly appreciated!
thank you, thank you , thank you.
She's so beautiful.
Here's my Best Shot - a little less ethereal.
So far my oldest is the only one that freckles in the summer like I do. She's beautiful---a summer at the beach is like nothing else!
So far our summer story is more about getting dirty in the backyard than anything else.
We have been loving the beach... The freckles are beautiful!

p.s. new here. love this place. :)
Separated from my husband my 10 month old and I moved in with my parents. My son has taken such a shine to my dad that he simply squeals with delight every time he sees him. They spend a lot of time in the yard together, my baby pointing to different plants and other sites, my dad walking around and letting him touch every item:
