Today's Summer Fun In The City

years from now, I will clearly remember this summer.

Today is a warm day and too beautiful to stay at home. Me and my son went to the city just to buy honey and his vitamins that turned into a real fun for him. Children will go back to school on Monday and most parents are giving their children all the enjoyment of summer before the school begins and before the summer fades again for a while.

I am now enjoying to post serious photos on my websites. Many professional photographers around the world come to appreciate my photos, my style. That is why, every time I go out, I am making sure I have my camera with me, it doesn't matter if it is not as handy as the iPhone camera.

happy together.

The city where I live has many things to offer to photographers. Places, people, nature. I always have an almost unending selection. Today, I made photos of my summer in the city with my son.

I chose a different route going to the city. I made a photo of the city hall. Then we went at the old harbor. I cannot ignore the heat, I treat my son an ice cream. I am however in a husky voice and ice cream is not for me this time. If my son is happy of the treat, I am also happy having him, sitting on the old bench, watching the fountain at the old harbor.

time out :)

Then we went to the market to buy what we need. There, there are many children of all ages with their mother or parents. The city government has installed playing pen, trampoline, and there are coaches to assist the children. My son is our only child, and I feel his longing for playmates, his yearning to be with other children.

I am still enjoying, mama! :)

I allow him to play in the sun, I let him play with other children. I watched him how he excitedly tries the skateboard, how he mingles with the coaches. As if, he is already a grown up reasoned out with them! Hahaha! One of the coaches approached me and told me how fun is my son. Just sad because when we were about to go home, my son cried hard. He likes to stay more. He likes us take the skateboard home.
