Feels Like Summertime...
8/20/2021
In the midst of multiple projects, and I realized I had a wealth of images from this summer that I'd yet to finalize. I got around to editing them over a few days, and I really loved the variety of our simple summer adventures, mostly in the back yard, or playing in the river that runs through our city.
