Happy Summer!!

Summer marks time in our backyards: getting out the grill, entertaining, and relaxing in the garden. It’s a time to reconnect with the natural world and celebrate sun dappled skin, an ocean breeze, and that glorious afternoon light. Thank you for sharing your photographs–it’s always so fun unwrapping your visual presents…and a huge thank you to Sarah Stankey and Grant Gill for their labors with this exhibition. Please note: this is a FIVE part exhibition, so keep scrolling….
