can you Picture Summer?

I'm not the kind of mom who counts the days of the school year down until summer. No way. And I'll be the first to admit that I enjoy my time far too much. But, this year there are two little words that are getting me more excited than usual for the coming season: Picture Summer!

For those of you who joined us for Picture Spring, I do hope you come along for our Summer saunter too. The prompts all all new with a twist on the season! For those of you who didn't participate but are determined to join the splashy summer inspiration, then pop over to the Picture Summer registration page and sign up for 30 days of photo fun. The more the merrier!

In celebration of Giveaway May and the fact that I am bursting at the seams about Picture Summer, we'll be giving away 3 free registrations. Just leave a comment between now and Sunday at midnight to be entered in the random drawing. And while you're here help us all get into the spirit of summer by sharing something splashy!

The winners of the Picture Summer registrations go to Lucy, Vanessa, Mama DB. Congrats ladies!!

After having a great time with Picture Spring, I think Picture Summer sounds like a lot of fun! I think I might have my 10 year old daughter do it with me :)

I would LOVE to do Picture Summer! This is my all time favorite season and it is NEVER long enough for me! This summer I am hoping to do lots of photography at the pool, at the beach and around any other body of water I can find. With two super fun boys to chase it's going to be a busy, hot, fun summer!!

I loved my Picture Spring experience and I'm picturing a summer full of beautiful blue hydrangeas and pink ones, too. My mother had a brownie hawkeye camera like the one pictured when I was a child -- it went missing, but I found a replacement a few years ago and added it to my "decor". I love it and I love Tracey's photos of it. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1142/4603254910_e4f0356fde.jpg
Keeping my fingers crossed to win the registration!
