Sunday Stills-Summer

Today's challenge is to portray our summer in photos; I haven't gone on vacation or attended any events, so my summer is all about every day life, doing the things I love, like growing my flowers,
and doing chores early in the morning and being rewarded with shots like this one of Velvet on the dirt pile, with ravens in the background:

Spending time with my dogs is important, so Sammi got to go on her first outing with Beamer and the other dogs, an easy trail ride around the hay field to make sure she would heel and not get distracted- she did really well.

Speaking of dogs, a big part of our summer for them is going to the river and swimming after sticks- Tess just loves it and will swim out and wait for you to throw a stick for her.

Since we are talking about Tess, that leads to another thing I love about summer- afternoon siestas in my hammock. Tess seems to think that anytime I'm in the hammock she should get to come in with me, so we had a nap together.
Such a dog!

I love summer evenings, except for those pesky mosquitoes, and we have been blessed with some beautiful weather lately so I leave you with the man in the moon.

I have a hammock, but have yet to find a good place to put it up. I suppose I'm also afraid of falling right out of it, too. lol!

Your photo is motivating me to set mine up soon, though. :)
At least we don't have mosquitos around here.
