The Burning Cathedral Of The Summer

DISCLAIMER: To be frank, Summer is my least favorite season of the year by far. I don't enjoy heat or sun, and to me all that bright light is flat and dull. That being said, as much as I hate to admit it, Summer does have its finer moments. Here are my impressions of Summer- the good, the bad, and the ugly.

This is a gallery which will be added to constantly as Summer unfolds, so check back for new Summer Sizzlers!

You really did great with this gallery, I know Summer's not done yet but it's getting there - though I'm sure you fit some more in before the END (and I know you can't wait for the END of summer - LOL)
