June Photography Challenge

Last week was our Spring Bank Holiday. Summer is July/August/September here, so I guess I'll be looking to see if I photographed anything suitable last summer.

 

I was inspired by Paige Evans Folded Circle Background layout

 

summer starts in two weeks, yay, I need some sun!!

 

Sunshine + water+fun is the perfect definition for a good summer. This year, we'll have some Stay-cation.

I don't have any swimming photos yet from this year because summer hasn't even officially begun yet, however, the photo in the lower right corner IS from this month and was taken a few days ago at the place where we'll be having the most of our splashy fun this summer because, for the first time ever, we got season passes to an amusement park that includes a water park.
