Brenda's Photo Challenge - PLAY

As summer is my favourite season and water my favourite element,
I interpreted the word PLAY as playing in summer in water ;)



Four years ago, my husband and I spent three weeks with his son Tim (who was then 12 years old) in Italy.
There was this beautiful swimming pool and we played all the time with the waterball.
Tim did not want to leave the pool ! You are not surprised about that when you see his big smile!

    Wonderful photos Maria!

    Maria forgive ... I also much, much like summer. like long walks sandy beaches near the sea ... or next to the river hand in hand smile on his face ... and you know what a great sun, which is in thousands of colors combines with a quiet open sea sea, but there is something special in the autumn. when all somehow in the color of golden color. heat rooms, fragant smoke cigarettes (I am not the smoker) in the late autumn you know when you start one thick .... boring rain ... I do not like desolate swallows nests ... then I'm sad - but on this we will melancholy second time ... I want to you all the best Steven

    Your PLAY photos make me want to go play in the pool right now - everything looks so blissfully cool and sparkly! (Too bad I can't swim very well, eh? I'd be playing on the bottom of the pool instead of on top of the water! lol)
