thoughts: i've never been in corvallis for an entire summer, but i'm really excited that i'm officially living here now! i've heard great things, and i am experiencing all of them first hand. firstly, the population of corvallis is drained when most dorm students and out of state kids leave town, leaving locals and a select population of summer students and kids like me that are looking for work. the weather is absolutely gorgeous and the slight breeze is the perfect thing on a sunny day. the air smells so clean and fresh and there is actually parking! during the day, not many people are around because they have class or work, but nights are filled with croquet games at sunset, late night simpsons-watching, popcorn, and pushpops. the first month here has been absolutely great! i knew it was officially summer the second week of june when the sun shone in all of its glory and the nights grew longer and i could finally see the stars dot the big blue sky because the clouds had finally cleared. i've enjoyed one full month of summer and i'm looking forward to a few more!
why i chose this photo: i took this photo in late spring, around memorial day weekend when corvallis was really empty. the flowers had just started blooming and it was finally sunny out. it just smelled so good out! this picture reminds me of the lazy days of summer when life is carefree and fun.
question: how do you know when it's officially summer? why do you enjoy doing?
inspiration: "it's summer, live it up!"
