Summer Love

I love summer.  It is here and it is most definitely my season.  It’s the only time of the year that I give myself permission to let myself relax.  I love the long days, warm nights and the chance to wear open-toed shoes after a long winter encased in socks and boots.  And of course, getting a pedicure to welcome the new season doesn’t hurt, either.  Like most girls, I have a thing for shoes.  And because summer is my most favorite season ever, I’m always on the lookout to find the cutest (and most comfortable) pair of sandals or flip flops out there.  I know my camera gets most of its use this time of year as well, and there’s nothing cuter than seeing a ‘tween in her cute little flip flops and newly painted toes. It was only natural then, that when I did a photo shoot of the two girls above I just had to include a shot of those too-cute feet.  Seriously, what’s not to love about kids or babies feet or any feet in super cute shoes, for that matter?! 

What do you love about summer? Show us what summer is to you.  And if you have any cute feet pics, by all means, show us those, too! 

In honor of summer and all things feet, Karin Stouffer of Toes N’ Bows (maker of the darling flip flops above which, by the way, come in both womens and girls sizes!) is giving away one pair of custom made flip flops of your choosing and designed by you, so be sure to leave your comment here by 12 midnight PST to be entered in a random drawing!

Thanks for all your great comments and love of summer!  And congrats to Brooke of Shutterboo for winning the custom-made flip flops!

Summer is sitting in the shade on a hot summer day and enjoying the feeling that I'll never feel cold again. Until next winter, anyway...

I love this picture and the adorable flip fops. Both are such a true representation of summer. The cute pedicures also coordinate so well with the flip flops and add character to the photo as well. Seeing this photo has contributed to my learning as a photographer in thinking about new ways to think about taking photos and which photos to take. I love it for what it represents about being female, summer, and the inspiration is has given me to improve my photography!

Love the toes and the bows! This summer for me will mean being carefree, whimsical and magical! I just know it will!

I love summer nights and strawberries.

Summer is warmer mornings, more daylight, being able to forget a jacket in the evening, BBQs, fireworks, bare feet, ponytails, short sleeves, twilight walks in the park, just to name a few. :)

Just as the saying goes, "life is like a guide, how would you like to write, it is what sort of book. So our own attitude determines existence. However, we have to go through significantly more meaningful guide, it can give us inspiration. by <a href="http://www.supras.cc/supra-vaider-high-3/"> Supra Vaider High</a>

Ordinary people think merely of how they will spend time, a man of intellect tries to use it.
