Snapshot: Summer 5



When we were little, we spent every summer at my grandparents' house in Cornwall, England. We ate British chocolate, walked barefoot on the rocky beaches and swam in the freezing cold ocean, where basking sharks hung out by the rocks. ("They're harmless!" insisted my grandmother.) To this day, I am in love with swimming—in pools, oceans or lakes. This shot is all about summer to me!

This is summer. To me summer is as simple as headstands and fireflys. Thanks for sharing.

I was born and grew up in Cornwall, so my favourite memory is the same! Love that icy cold sea....(better than expensive spa treatments any day) followed by a cup of tea from a flask drunk while wrapped in a towel. My heaven.
