This post inspired by Cee’s B&W Photo Challenge: The topic: In or On Water

It didn’t take much for a group of 6 year old boys (and one little brother) to make excellent use of water.

In the backyard swimming pool…

Enjoying their own brand of fun…

One hot July afternoon…

While their parents partied nearby.

Nancy Merrill is hosting a photo challenge. The theme this week – Shimmer

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO (OR MORE) THAT SHIMMER.

Once again I am able to share a photo from my favorite beach. Taken during a solo vacation many years ago. Where I enjoyed warm weather, sunshine and long walks along the water’s edge. No schedule except for one of my choosing…including photo opportunities I couldn’t resist.
Sparkly sand. Sun. Water. Waves.

A more recent walk…not so warm. Early Spring in New England.

The late afternoon sun still doing its amazing thing…

A Photo a Week Challenge: Water

Nancy Merrill Photography is hosting a photo challenge:

The theme this week is water.

I have two photos to contribute.

Did you know that summer squash is 94% water?
Even though it (and its cousin the zucchini) overtake local gardens by the end of the summer, I still enjoy these summer vegetables over and over. Sliced, chopped, steamed, roasted…and in a cheese casserole if so inspired.
