Beautiful June . Summer Series

June came and went too fast.  Filled with family, camping, golf, ice cream and lazy spring evenings.

Just how we like it.

Back in June I had mentioned in a post here about documenting your everyday summer stories.  Being that we are over half way through July, I have to say I am super grateful I have been picking up the camera for a few minutes almost every day.  Not perfect (but what is really ;)).  Some days more than others and a few not at all ... but more than what I have in the past.

I hope you have too.

Around the House. A Birthday Party.

This was way back in the spring.  And it is now November and I am not sure what compelled me to share this with you today.  Maybe the first snowfall, maybe because it's Friday ;). Either way, what more can kids ask for than a popcorn machine and a magician?

Me + NYC

This past weekend I spent a whole 36 hours in NYC.   Here's a few things I learned and a few things I managed to see. Everything moves a little a lot faster.

A helicopter circling and a flag waving in the wind.

The colours.  The colours are amazing.

From small town farmer, to meeting with 6 executives on the 25th floor of this building on his first trip to NYC.  One of the most determined people I know.

Talent everywhere.  If you can sing on the streets of NYC and people stop to listen, you know it's got to be good.

Landmarks.

A city with character.

Beautiful skylines that deserve to be seen with an open sky.

A building that stands out mainly because it stands alone.  And a tree that seemed to just match the building behind it.

The stories of these buildings must be amazing.

A store only Apple would create.

Streets upon streets like this.

The store we thought we would never arrive at.

A big city, but it's the details that I loved.

The one and only Central Park.

And the one and only Trump Tower.

The view from our hotel.  Kinda different from the view at home ;).

The glow of the evening lights.

Inspiration e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e.  Love this wall display.

It's a good thing this store isn't too close to home.

And a moon touching the city skyline.
