July 1, 2009 By Tracey Clark

Happy Summer everyone! I know it’s been summer for a while now but around here it never really feels like summer until July. Even though southern California has good weather almost always, here on the coast we get faked out in June. They call it June gloom and it doesn’t lift until, well, July. So, here we are…enjoying sun and summer and all that goes with it. The beach, the pool, bike riding, dog walking, you name it.

So with this month also comes a new word for our One Word Project. What better word to mark all things warm and wonderful than the word summer? We’ve got so much to look forward to in the coming months, why not celebrate it? We’re featuring a ton of your pictures and posts in the Your Local Picks feature, The Shutter Suite at BlogHer and soon after Picture Hope officially kicks off with trip #1.

So many good things coming it’s true but for now, let’s bask in the glow of the summer sun and appreciate today. Share with us all the things that speak of summer. Leave links in the comments and submit them into our One Word Project Flickr pool. Let’s enjoy the season with a splash.

    Smiles, picnics, water balloons, wine fests, popsicles.

    This photo makes me think of all those things: http://www.flickr.com/photos/36197392@N06/3677964048/

    This has been my chant for the last rainy week in New England…sum-mer! Sum-mer! Sum-mer??? It’ll return soon, let’s all hope! I’m tired of Candy Land. Ready to get back to the beach.

    Nothing says summer to me more than chillin’ outside on the grass, swimsuits, and running through the sprinklers.

    http://camerapatty.wordpress.com/2009/07/01/potd-birthdays/
    We have 4 of them over the next 32 days. Having my first giveaway to celebrate July birthdays. And there are a few other posts about summer as well, just check out Summer Stock Sundays with a splash.

    the kids cleaned out the pool but left this little guy for me… before I took him out I snapped this photo but had no idea it would come out this well! I love his little swimming feet making ripples in the water.
