It seems we have reached the middle of summer and yet I feel it has only begun. Today, the heat has left the Northeast and we have been given a glorious summer day.
It makes me want to kick off my shoes and play!
And drink Margaritas!
Stay safe, my friends!

Me too! I keep thinking of excuses to go outside. I love being barefoot! Your photo is magical -- well done!

That is an incredible shot - love it.
Brilliant picture/photo again MM
That is so cool! I love that effect! =)
Oh you are sooo the Norman Rockwell of the blogosphere.
Wonderful photo...We have been having some really beautiful days here only for the temps to creep back up to the 90's tomorrow. Have a wonderful weekend.
Cool picture! I had to really look to find the reflection but once I saw the birds on the left their reflections were obvious.
How FUN picture edit is that, wow:)
Have fun and enjoy!
Now it looks like you are having too much fun! very cool photo! Happy weekend to you!
Do margarita flavor jelly beans count?!? That's all we've got around here and sadly it is still triple digit heat here.
barefoot cheers!

I love that photo. It's fabulous. First thing I did when I got home from work was kick off those shoes and since it's Friday I plan on playing for the next two days
Fantastic photo! I hope your shoes are off and you're sipping away by now!
Beautiful tones in that photo!! It's 102 degrees here so I am NOT enjoying the summer. There is more of this in store, too. Ugh!
Dear Reena
Hope you get to kick off your shoes and enjoy some Margaritas!
P.S. You make me want to become a better photographer. The sharpness of your images makes me loose my breath...
I would love to be soaking up a bit of that summer weather - clever photography .
Have a wonderful and safe week-end Reena.
I think I'd like to run in that sand too! Have a wonderful weekend!!!
What a fantastic capture, Reena, and a true picture of summer at its best! I'm not at the beach, but I've kicked off my shoes and I'm so ready for that Margarita! Have a lovely evening and a great weekend!

I like what you've done with this image. It screams summer and excited kids. Two glorious days in a row. I love it.
Reena, What a terrific photo to go with your barefoot summer poem. Maybe I'll have a Marg, too - here in CO.
It was an awesome day today and I was even off work to enjoy it.
I know I'm just echoing everyone else, but I love that photo! What processing did you use for it? I don't have the making for a margarita, but I'll be having a glass of red once it cools down, so cheers to Friday!

I feel the same way in Summer ... alive! Brought back to life from the hibernation of winter.
Looks like the heat is headed our way once again, but it's okay : )

Thank you for the nice comment on my blog. I can see that we are both nature lovers and I so enjoyed the post with the squirrels and all the birds and the little juvie cardinal..the post about the little fledge is so hard. I had two goldfinch that were flushed from a nest too early and took them to the rehabber, but they couldn't save them...that one still stings.. Michelle
This image is amazing. I love it. :)

That glorious photo shouts SUMMER. So full of light and joy. Enjoy!
Very cool image! Keep looking at it, and stay cool. I think we're going to heat up again this week.
I also love your picture, and I've loved this weekend too!! The weather could not be any more perfect, but the heat and high humidity is going to be back at work at the start of the week--I can't wait...
I hope you have a great Sunday!!
Howdy neighbor, thanks for stopping by! Neat image of the shore, it captures the essence perfectly. I'm hoping to make it to the DE beaches this summer, I better get moving!
Lovely summery colors - great image!
Such a terrific image Reena! It is hard to believe we are in the middle of July. Summer goes so fast. It is a good day to kick off our shoes and play I think. :)
