Love them or hate them, smartphones contain amazing cameras. Here are a few moments that have ended up on my phone this summer--most of them taken by me, but others texted to me by family and friends.

Making time for Breakfast by the Lake, Just before the Back-to-School Craziness Sets In
Summer, so full of promise in the long evenings of early June, so full of melancholy as night falls all-too-soon in mid August. Please stay with us just a little bit longer.
Very interesting photos! I'm just a little jealous of the " backyard campfire" moments!
Miss you guys!
Next you've got to come up and see your Smiths Falls/Ottawa cousins. You've never met little Brendan. He and James would be great buds. We do campfires too!
See you - soon maybe?
