Farewell to Summer {Ohio Nature Photographer} [Michigan Beach Photographer]

This year has just sped by. It seems the tulips were just blooming and here we are saying goodbye to summer. Schools are starting a new year, pools are closing, college students are looking for awesome dorm room decor and it is the start of apple season harvest. Autumn and colorful leaves are just around the corner. So this is a good time to look back on summer beach days and wandering in nature.

SEA OF HAPPINESS

MAKE YOUR OWN PATH

NOT ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST

WE SHOULD MEET IN ANOTHER LIFE

LILY PAD POND

STILLNESS

THE SEA, THE SEA

SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW

I have lovely summer memories.... And now I'm looking forward to my favorite season of autumn and mums, college football games, fall leaves, pumpkins, cool evening walks and fall fashions!

Summer Sunflowers, Water Lilies and Sky {Central Ohio Photographer } { Michigan Nature Photographer }

I have always had a love affair with sunflowers. They are the happiest of flowers, always holding their heads up and facing the light of the sun. I always plant them the first year in the garden I happen to be in at the time, but then delight in seeing where they decide to self sow in following years - always coming up in the most unexpected of places, but always making the garden wild and beautiful. And water lilies... they create a calm serenity on the hot summer days in Ohio. And I love finding them floating in the inland lakes of northwestern Michigan in the Sleeping Bear Dunes area! These beauties were photographed at the beautiful Kingwood Center in Mansfield, Ohio the other week.  Enjoy these lovelies that are in my Society 6 shop!
