a summer photo challenge

For me, the definitive summer month is July.  No fear of school creeping into the beginning or end of the month. Plenty of warm (hot?!?) weather. Fireworks, lemonade, lightning bugs. Pools, flip flops, and sprinklers. Summer camp, vacations, the beach.

Last summer, I participated in a month-long photo challenge that I really enjoyed. I shared my photos daily here on my blog.  I decided I wanted to do this again this summer, only this time I've created my own list, focusing on the theme of "summer" during the month of July.

Will you join me?  Here's the list:

And here's what you do:  Take a picture each day of July, focusing on the theme for each day. So July 1, take a picture of a "summer pastime" on the 2nd, a "summer smile", etc. You can post your pictures to your blog, your instagram feed, or just do it on your own! Feel free to use the image above on your blog...and link back here! Make sure to leave a comment with a link to where you're recording your photos! I'd love to see your take on this challenge!

I'll be using my instagram app again to take pictures, as I found it easiest to record & post to the blog using my phone last year.

I do hope you'll join me and play along!
