I love sunsets and the way that it really brings out colors, both bright and dark. It is just the time of day when magic happens.

The feet of Summer

Summer is for sandals, shorts, and even some sunburns. Today, July 5th, is the traditional beginning of Summer her in Seattle. It's time for all those complaints of rain and darkness to come out. For us to step out of boots and dress shoes and replace them with sandals or just bare feet. It's time to let your toes dig themselves into a beach or some green grass. To stand by a BBQ and to really be with the people that we care about. It's the time where nothing should be kept up inside and we get out. We rock these sandals that protect just what we need, let us be comfortable in who we are and not hide much. Let that be your mantra for this summer, let's live lives like feet in sandals.

I tried to find a photo that really exemplified the 4th of July for me, but ended up with just a great photo of a great person. I love the colors, her smile and that I get to take lots of pictures of her.

Don't worry because I'm looking forward to taking some firework photos tonight. You'll see those soon.

Kids are so expressive. It is just something that I can't get over. I was just amazed to see how just hanging out on the front lawn can bring out smiles that will continue to blow my mind. Phin just loves my friend Tim and it really came out in his face of awe. I do enjoy the blurry effect of Phin's mom in the background watching her son be enthralled with the big people.
