Welcome to P I C T U R E P E R F E C T ...oOo... Each week a new theme will be posted here on Friday morning. You are invited to put up your best picture on your own blog with that theme in mind, and you do have the whole weekend to post your picture, so there is no rush. Cutoff time is Sunday at midnight! Remember it should be just ONE and ORIGINAL, taken by YOU,and not off the internet, Then come back and leave a comment on this page in the comment box so that everyone can link to your blog and see your photo. Don't forget to OPEN your page to EVERYONE for that day. By all means mention your camera and lens used, and if the picture has been altered or enhanced in any way, so we can all learn and improve our techniques. Try and post a decent size picture on your blog page for an increased WOW factor. Often so much is lost or distorted if the size is too big or too small. Remember this is NOT a competition, this about being creative having fun and being supportive of one another. oOo The theme this week is I AM SUMMER and I look forward to seeing what Summertime means to You! Your guest host this week is Tessie When Heather asked me to "guest" host for this week, of course I had to say yes ~ as it is truly an honor and a pleasure. And what better time for my first guest hosting than Summertime.... Living in Pennsylvania I get to experience four seasons a year and anyone who has just come off of a LONG winter of snow, snow and more snow will agree ~ Summers warm days help you forget the shovel..... Until the next flake falls. oOo short shorts showing legs and browned skin summer tans the bluest of skies and the warmest of sands buttered corn on the cob and fresh wet cut tomatoes baseball, hotdogs, rare burgers and some salads with potatoes ice cold beer from a can on a warm summers night kids barefoot on swings that sqeak in delight
fireflies and butterflies, bare knees and warm rains, fireworks and long bike rides, amusement park trains marshmallows on twigs melting from grey colored coals, red checkerboard tablecloths and bright colored bowls tank tops and bikinis, best friends you just met, flower lined paths in herb gardens and orange colored sunsets cherry popcicles so sweet dripping off of your chin winters cold is finally over, let Summer begin!
 | Tess looks like you are kicking summer off the way gator loves...with food..and a great theme |

 | Aw thank you so much for the opportunity. Burgers are on the grill, the coals fired up....whose hungry??? |

| What a great theme you have posted Tess. I will start looking for a picture. Love it. UMMM!! Can hardly wait to get posted. |
 | hmm Gator dont think that one where my trucks got blown off when I did a hi dive off the roof into the pool...naa have a better one i think |
 | That is the great thing about provoking a caveman.....the outcome. |
 | Trucks or trunks....either would be interesting....not that I am trying to make PP history here keep in mind.... |

 | Those burgers are making me hungry too and it is late here. |
 | Dang... I might have to skip this one. It flat out REFUSES to be summer here! :( lol
|
| giggles - it is actually WINTER here in South Africa (as we speak we have 2 deg C outside), but I am doing my best trying to warm up by thinking hot, humid thoughts. |
 | Silly me thinking that because here it is Summer-time....everywhere is summer.... I am loving what I am seeing..... |
 | Nice shot! You can't have summer without at least one barbecue. |
 | Well it is midnight here now so I am going to catch a bit of sleep and I will be back here bright and early looking forward to seeing some more wonderful pictures. We are off to a great start here, thanks so much everyone for taking time out of your busy day and stopping by. See you all soon, hugs and nite for now. |

 | Hi, Tessie. Those burgers look good. And the tank tops and bikinis sound tasty too. If I could take part this week, it would be with a pic of me lounging on a chair on the seafront overlooking the harbour, with the sun twinkling between the sailboats. Anyway, as you can tell, I'm not at home and can't post a pic til next week. Thanks for hosting. Great theme! |
 | Good morning all, I am back ready to catch up on your summertime pics.... |
 | and a good shot you had there....loved the music...quite fitting. |
 | Thank you, it is really fun isn't it? I had no idea what theme to pick actually. I went back and looked at every theme used previously as to not duplicate and found there really wasn't a summertime choice done. With temps here in the 90's it was a reminder of what is coming.
|
 | that looks delicious!!!! mmmmmm!!!! wonderful theme too!!! be back later.... |
 | Welcome, Tessie. You can cook burgers for me anytime! Those look wonderful. Here's is a glimpse of what my summers have been like for the last 10 years or so. Picture Perfect - I Am Harriet's Summer |

 | Oh very Great Theme and a wonderful photo. I do love the things that hint of Summer in the air, the smell of good BBQ is one thing that really attacks my senses and leaves me wanting for some of that good home cooked food. The sight and smell of neighbors bbqing...watermelon, potato salad, and marshmallows roasting on a stick certainly are great traditions of Summer that warm the heart and fill the senses! |
 | Oh just went back and read your poem and it is so so fitting! Love it! |
 | I must say, one day and I have seen such incredible shots from all of you. Every page I visited has made me smile...made me shake my head in agreement, and reminded me of things I had forgotten were also summer. keep them coming!
If you have posted up to this point and I missed you, please mention it. |
 | I haven't ate grilled food in years. Is it good??? :P |
 | What a great shot and a wonderful first guest host for you. I shall go check out my pics. |
 | Well it is time for me to get some rest, so I will be back again tomorrow morning. Thank you to all who have posted kind words and awesome blogs of your summertimes...Have a good evening |
| Yummm...looks great..Love the pic and words..Be back with mine! |
 | Good morning all, a bit cloudy here today....hope your having some sun whereever you are. |
 | Wasn't sure I would have time to post this week... but for a guest host I'll make the time!!! Click here for my entry |
 | We have had 54 wonderful summertime picture shares so far.... Thank you all so much....keep 'em coming.... |

Great shots everybody. BTW, I posted a second time because I didnt realize I had posted already and removed the second one once I realized I had...so basically a busy weekend just posting correctly here..LOL |
| mrsrh wrote on Jun 6, '10 My marker. I think I am caught up. Only had a brief look and a copy and paste comment then Multiply decided I must be spam and asked to type in the code in the little box. I'm so busy with summer activities that I have little computer time. |
 | Good morning everyone. Hope your having a great start to your Sunday. I have tornado warnings here in Pa until 3pm. Very unusual for my area in the mountains...so I will cross my fingers....but I guess Hurricanes and Tornados are another one of those Summertime things huh. |
 | was on my annual holiday to Disney World, sorry I missed this week, I had a few good pics to choose from |
 | I'm still trying to remember what grilled food taste like... :P |
 | Well, it is past midnight here in Pa.....and time for bed. I enjoyed this weekend with all of you very much. As for who is hosting next week.....well I will let that remain a suprise...! Hugs until then.... |
 | Can't wait to check all these out, sorry I missed playing this weekend, was out of town. |
