embracing summer

     Admittedly, I'm a little late to the party for embracing summer, I mean it's been summer for a couple of months now.  But, better late than never.  The ridiculous heat has dissipated so I can finally get outside to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine.  The evenings are beginning to cool and some nights, there's even the slightest hint of fall in the air. 
​     Today. it's so nice out I decided to do some plein air painting, that's just a fancy way of saying painting outside.  I don't normally paint outside, but I figured I'd give it a try.  We'll see what happens.  But before I get back to work, since I'm sitting under my apple tree, I figured I'd sample its wares ;)
