Seeing Summer


It felt as though summer crawled into town, but upon arrival, it stood right up on its first try. Yes, it rained on the first day of summer in San Francisco (this city likes to keep us on our toes), but so far these long days have been everything they should be: hot temperatures, water sports, visitors from afar, long road trips, bikinis out and orange nail polish blasting like the sun.

As I often feel with the coming of a new season, it's an opportunity for fresh starts and new beginnings. The options are endless (and, hey, if we fall short, there's always the next season, am I right?). One reason I'm welcoming this summer with wide, open arms is because my Spring was a particularly inward one. Coming off the quietness of that time in my life, I'm seeking out any and all opportunities that allow me to explore the following: risk, possibility and momentum. Just the thought of it all makes me want to get up and go!

Here are some recent summery images I've captured that convey this expansiveness I covet:


Dangling feet over the pier...


...peering through the wide window...


...under the boardwalk...


...sunset reflections...


...brushing through the green path to anywhere...


...so close and yet...


...so far...so good!
