Hot time in the Summertime

Quote of the day: “Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair…” ― Susan Polis Schutz I don’t think I’ll be doing any dancing in the sun today with temperatures at or near 100 degrees.

My First Video Slideshow

Here is a little inspiration for your week. I’ve created a video using my photos. It’s called “Chased by Beauty” (just like my blog site and Etsy shop).
