For this RBG, this summer was all about the water. Typically I like to keep my feet on dry land, but not this summer. Inexplicably, I craved water. I wanted to be near it, on it, in it.

So, I didn’t fight it.
It started with sailboating in Bayfield, Wis. It ended with fishing off the dock with my niece and nephew in Fifty Lakes, Minn.

I never got my fill.

In honor of the last days of summer, here are a couple of my favorite moments on or near the blue.

This summer, what did you crave? How did you give in to that craving?

I love the water! It looks like you got a lot of it! That yellowstone photo is great. Lake Michigan looks pretty calm there.This summer I really craved the ocean, and I spent two months living on the coast 🙂

Faith, I am so jealous! Sounds amazing. I didn't immediately have access to a photo of my sailing trip on Lake Superior–the lake was like glass. It was so serene, and unexpected. Safe travels, wherever you roll.
