Good Morning, Everyone! I hope all of you Dads had a wonderful Father's Day yesterday! I included a photo of me and my Dad when I was 3. He just turned 90 years young on June 15th and is still going strong! Summer is here and we've had some mighty hot days down here in the south. Our school vacations have evolved to be so short (June - July) that we have to quickly work in any vacation we take with family. So, we took a cruise before they got out of school, recently went to the beach, and just came back from a camping adventure. Here are some of my shots of summer water with more to come through the week. I look forward to seeing your summer water!

Good morning! Thanks for hosting! Love your picture of you and your Dad. And that sunrise is fabulous! Great action shots too! My son worked on as a computer tech (Manager) in Tortolla for 2 years. I got to visit him there. We sure loved the Ocean waters there! I will move into summer waters in a bit.... :-)

There is nothing like mist or fog on the water - beautiful shots. Love the water drop - good to see you!

These were taken on our Girl Trippin' outing at the end of May. The last one I photographed as it made me think of my two sisters and I on the trip.

Wow! That drop of water is awesome. Love the detail in the drop and how tree branches are visible in that drop. Well done!
