Dear Summer,

I really enjoyed you this time. Your weather stayed longer than I thought it would and even now, the warmth of your presence still returns unexpectedly.

Summer, you are my favorite season: you allow me to travel the most. I gather memories with friends, sounds of the ocean, and the grainy and soothing feeling of the sand.

If I could paint you, you would not be shocked at the splashes of color that would melt onto the canvas. Kind of like waves. Each splash of paint produces something different, each splash of a wave leaves behind a unique piece of the ocean.

A cute little shell from my beach trip.

I'm sad to see you disappear into the hands of fall and winter. I look forward to meeting you again soon.
