How We Had Fun This Summer

August 17, 2013 by Anjana @ At The Corner Of Happy And Harried 14 Comments

Summer heat is tough. But I love it because of all the sunshine and long daylight hours. Want to know what we did so far?

We blew bubbles, or rather ‘shot’ them out of a bubble gun!

Blowing Bubbles

We are enjoying the flowers in our little garden. And I got a little ‘bokeh’ effect going on in the background in this shot.

Red Roses with Background Natural Bokeh

We are taking advantage of the long hours of daylight to spend many evenings outdoors.

Soccer Ball

The road in front of our apartment building has been cordoned-off the entire summer because of impending repairs. It is a pain to park our vehicle, but a blessing in that we have a safe spot right in front of our house to let the little one run around!

Soccer Fun

We went to the beach! Enough said!!

I experimented a little in outdoor photography in the dazzling Texas sunshine…

Wind Chime

With mixed results! Can you say, ‘over-exposed’?!!

We visited pretty gardens.

    Great photos! One of my very good friends just moved to Texas, and she absolutely loves it! She tells me how beautiful it is there, and these photos sure do show it!
