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!!

[Lesa]

I took more pictures in April, than any other month of my life, because of your class at BPS. I'd love to do it again in July!!

[pat]

Although I am still an amateur working towards perfecting an amazing joy in my life (photography), I've never participated in a photo a day project. I love to have my camera in hand and soaking up all that life presents. I would love to be a part of this photo a day project. Summertime represents the innocence of childhood present and past, juicy bold colors, laughter, freedom...really anything your heart desires! Here's a moment I caught with my daughter outside in her "sunshine" t-shirt. She's ready and so am I !

I have been thinking about taking this class. I would love to win a spot.

I am ready for summer. I moved to the north from Florida and we had a rough winter. I can't wait for the warm weather.

This sounds like such an amazing project. Thanks for a chance to win!

Yay! I was hoping you'd do a Picture Summer. I didn't think I'd have time for Picture Spring and regretted not signing up for it. I will sign up for this course, free or not. Looking forward to the course as much as the arrival of warm, sunny days with my little boys.

[april]

I loved picture spring and can't wait to do picture summer :)

[rachael s]

i am so glad this course is continuing! even though i couldn't finish up picture spring, it was so wonderful to be a part of it!

[Megan Benedict]

Please, please, oh please, pick me! I love summer (and with snow in May, literally less than a week ago), I am SO ready for it. Thanks for offering this awesome give-away.

[Marla]

Going to check this out right now . . .

[Meg - Tea & Brie]

Picture spring was incredible! Would live to participate in summer too!

[melody]

Want it. She said selfishly.

[Shannon]

Aaaahhhhh.....summer. It's so great when things slow down a little bit. Picture Summer will help savor these precious moments!

[ocean lotus]

I do love summer, my kids are at a fun age that includes some fun times during the summer, simple times, but fun nonetheless...
the beach, the smell of sunlotion on bodies, sand in your ears, tan kids, lazy and unpredictable days...yum!

[claudia]

Oh, would love to win a spot! Here's how I picture summer...

I love late summer afternoons. We are still in a cold spring so I can't wait for summer to come! :)
What a wonderful idea for a workshop. Thank you for the chance.

[marcy]

I need some inspiration!!

[karen]

What a great giveaway. I would love, love to be a part of it!

Love this.. I don't have kids and I work from home so I don't tend to pay much attention to the summer months, I would love to change that! Thanks for the chance to win!

[Sandy]

Love the photo! Picture Summer sounds grand!

[Faren]

I love this picture. I wish I could find an older camera just like that one where I live.

[Mama DB]

I'm sooo looking forward to having my kids home, no more rushing around. Lazy days at the beach.

An oldie but one I frequently turn to during the winter months:

Thanks for a chance to win! Tomorrow I'm actually able to have my first beach day (as I live in a tropical climate), so I am pumped for summer! :)

[gjarmstrong@mac.com]

I am picturing a summer with less places to be and more time to just be! I love the magic light at 8:30pm in July and the warm rain in August Dripping popsicles and running in the sprinklers! Lazy afternoons spent reading and dreaming! Yum! Even with the heat, I LOVE summer!

Thanks for the opportunity!

[Jennifée]

I would love to join Picture Summer - I miss the prompts from Picture Spring :)

Summer for me is making the most out of it, since we don't always have very high temperatures or nice weather in the north of Europe. This is one of my favourite shots from England showing exactly that: http://www.flickr.com/photos/85057042@N00/3757737296/

[strawberrygoldie]

I would love to be a part of it :)

[mel]

just stumbled upon your blog an love it. in texas we've had an unusually cold winter so i am still craving warm days even though we've hit 90. can't wait to enjoy your picture summer.

[Lindsey (aka modchik)]

Tracey I am with you - I kinda get anxious knowing my kids will look to me to entertainment and activities - ACK! Having a photo project will get me out of the house more... can't wait it should prove to be a MUCH better summer, last year kinda sucked it. I am going to rent a camera just for fun for July, I'm spending 2 weeks on the East Coast and I want to shoot my heart out!

[jv]

can't wait for summer!

[PunditMom]

I so need this class - love my Nikon, but am stuck when it comes to creativity.

[Sylvia]

Wow...so many comments...my I join you all? Snow in Vermont? I had planned to complain that here in Budapest its pouring rain, but snow is worse. I can't wait for summer too!

[Robin]

my kids have been asking for summer for months! I'm planning to jump in and enjoy it with them this year instead of constantly complaining about being hot!

[pam]

This sounds like the perfect way to improve my photography and enjoy summer! Since school doesn't start back until August 2nd, it's perfect!!

[Amy P.]

I'm looking forward to soakin' in the summer photos... The light.. The summer warmth... The colors... Here's two of my favorite photo's that show summer is almost home bound...

[Malin]

It's not summer here yet, but when it is I will definitely picture it. I've been longing this whole long and cold winter for that!

[Wendy]

This would be a fantastic re-entry into all things Tracey!! You continue to amaze me!!

[Sara P in MIlwaukee]

I used to have one of those Brownie cameras when I was a kid. It's what got me interested in photography. The photo brought back memories.

Summer is my main picture taking season. I'm off of work 'cause I'm a teacher. I get out and explore in the warmth and sunshine with my trusty digital camera, but I can also be found being even more creative with my film SLR. Bring on summer!!!!

[Lynn M]

Loved Picture Spring - would love to win a spot in Picture Summer!!! Here a photo from a couple of summer's ago in our garden.
