it has been rather hot and humid here these summer days. i’m sure it is rather hot and humid where you are too. we’ve been trying to get outside during the evenings but after a few minutes, we are ready to come into the a/c. (praise Jesus for air conditioning!) we took these few pictures a week or two ago….we were at a park filled with beautiful wildflowers. i could have stayed at the park with those flowers & read and written in a journal for hours (minus the bees and bugs.) i love being outside, enjoying God’s creation and taking it all in. this weekend we are going to hike in the smokey mountains and i am so excited (for the mountain part…not the hiking part necessarily.) ;)

anywho, i’ve been updating my photography blog so feel free to visit. oh and i must not forget…the winners for the persimmon&pink giveaway are: jenny, kristin, and morgann. congrats! i will be emailing you lovely ladies soon. hope you are having a lovely week….

love,
arielle
