I can't wait till summer...I'll even take spring. Sunny evenings, warm nights, and no need to wear a jacket.The Mind Games photograph series by Julie Blackmon reminds me of summer days. Her work is so intriguing. If you have kids or ever had an interesting babysitting experience you must check out her Domestic Vacations series. The photographs are oddly distributing and amusing.
these photos are beautiful! i can't wait for summer either, I'm a summer baby and have always loved summer! ironically after moving to UK, my summers are a lot shorter! so i'm looking forward to a nice holiday to somewhere sunny & hot! ;)
ReplyDeleteThese photos are (almost) as good as summer itself! Thanks for the January warmth.
ReplyDeleteyay- I could not agree with you more!
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely ready for above freezing temperatures.
that sprinkler photo takes me back! oh, those were heavenly days.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to tamp down my summer-thoughts until April - otherwise, I'll never get through the winter!
ReplyDeleteI love these photos - very evocative.
Completely! It's time for flirty dresses and opened-toed shoes.
ReplyDeleteswoooooon. LOVE these shots. so perfect!
ReplyDeletethose photos are great! here's to summer sunshine!
ReplyDeleteI love these! A nice little mental vacation from the snow and ice...
ReplyDeleteI'm with you... I'm DYING for earlier sunrise, longer days, getting to eat out on a patio, ice cream at 8 o'clock as the sun is just setting... *sigh* good stuff.
ReplyDeletei'm right there with ya!
ReplyDeleteOh my! What a talent. thank you for introducing this amazing artist. I posted about it today. I was mesmerized!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! I'm hitting the winter low point this week. But another two months until I can even start to think about Spring...
ReplyDeleteah, summer posts already!
ReplyDeletei'm definitely a late spring/summer girl. i LOVE the warm weather. i detest wearing so many layers of clothing--and having to turn on the heater. oh, and i LOVE the longer days. sigh. as much as i don't want the year to pass by fast, i'm looking forward to warmer seasons.
Sigh. ANY bit of warmth would be so welcome right now.
ReplyDeleteMy fave is the boy wearing his goggles. I drove around in that same plastic car as a wee one. I still remember the smell.
Love the little girl!!!
ReplyDeleteSo weird... I was planning to post her color work soon!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike :)
sigh*
ReplyDeletei want my flip flops back.
SUMMER! That is why next winter I plan to be down under!
ReplyDelete-h
at least the sun is out today!
ReplyDeletei love these photos...i miss being a kid, they look like they are having so much fun!
These photos just scream summer. I love the little city girl with her too too. Priceless.
ReplyDeleteJulie Blackmon is my husband's cousin's wife's sister. ha! Parse that one out!
ReplyDeleteShe's so ridiculously talented. I adore her beautifully strange work.
they are summer photos :)
ReplyDeletelove especially the one with the pool and googles :D
I am totally intrigued by these photos. They really seem to tell a story. Wow!
ReplyDeleteSo I went and checked out her site like you suggested.....brilliant. I am intrigued by how they look like calm chaos.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten what summer looks like...thanks for reminding me in the most perfect of ways...xo t
ReplyDeleteYes! I'm so ready for the summer as well! These photos are great!
ReplyDeleteI think these photos are a hoot! Love 'em!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I am so ready for warmer weather!!!
Ahhhhh....those make me smile:)
ReplyDeleteI wish it were still appropriate for me to wear a tutu whenever and where ever I want...
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and yes, I, too, am ready for long sunny days!
ReplyDeletei think my niece will love the first dress.
ReplyDeleteadorable!!!that girl in tutu, how sweet is she :)
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I especially love the top one. That little pair of shoes & socks in the top left corner is addorable. Wish I could send you over some of my summer weather. The temps are certainly high enough right now that we can share a little warmth with the rest of the world!
ReplyDeletei wish it were summer! these pictures are darling!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more! I'm soo over Winter!
ReplyDeletei. love. that. top. photo.
ReplyDeleteit completely is everything summer as a kid. trying to cram all the good stuff into your day before you get sent off to bed. too many things to do and explore; games to be won, bubbles to be blown, bikes to ride.
The sassy ballerina gets my vote.
ReplyDeletethese are beautiful! and i'm excited for spring, too-- maybe not summer yet, but spring for sure!
ReplyDeletethese are hilarious...
ReplyDeletei am a fan of warm weather
Yes, these are just amazing photos. I'm so freggin' tired of the winter -- can't wait to spend endless hours on roof tops drinkin' beer.
ReplyDeletegreat photos. i bought a delicious watermelon yesterday and everytime i have a chunk i am instantly reminded of summer..sigh! hey--at least it's 20 degrees today. last week thurs it was negative 35!
ReplyDeletelove these photos. especially the first one!
ReplyDeletei'm looking forward to it as well...
ReplyDeleteOh, this set is so wonderfully summer! I haven't run through a sprinkler in who knows how long, but that looks so appealing! And, I looked, and your comments on her Domestic Vacation series were spot-on... oddly disturbing and amusing (and no kids, but definitely some interesting babysitting experiences back in the day!)
ReplyDeletecannot wait either!! summer come already! love these "domestic vacation" images...
ReplyDeleteThese are perfect, yes they are! That first one is classic. Must check out her work, thanks for the link!
