This is my contribution to Scott’s Assignment 26: Summertime. I love flowers and butterflies, and we are fortunate that the Catawba Science Center has a butterfly exhibit this year. I have been visiting the butterfly garden a few times so far.
We have been camping a lot this Summer, and one of my favorite places to camp is Cherokee, NC.
Although it’s not so much fun camping in the rain.
Panning shot of Lee riding a banana tricycle.
Bo is too big for this one.
We love tubing and my sister bought a waterproof camera. The quality of the photo is not that great, but it sure captures the memory of our tubing adventure.

VA beach is one of our favorite beaches to visit.
It has been a busy Summer for us so far from camping in the mountain to down by the beach.
Photos were taken with 5DMkIII, and Canon 24-105mm f/4L lens.
Looks like you are having a wonderful summer Nye!
Thanks Karen, I can’t believe it’s August already.
Love the firelight on the camper. Brings back GREAT memories of my childhood!!
Hi Dawn, it’s a different world out there, and I absolutely love the slower pace of life.
It’s been such a hot summer for us out west. Even camping in the summer rain looks like fun to me. 🙂
Hi cn, it’s nice to get away, even if it’s for a short weekend. The Summer rain is not so bad as long as it doesn’t thunder and lightning, then it’s really scary.
[…] family were not big into camping. They just never went camping with Nye’s family in the Carolina’ and Virgina. I bet they would have become big camping […]
What a great photo mix to show the fun and relaxation of a summer vacation.
Thanks Scott, I almost missed your assignment. I’m glad I came back in time. 🙂
