Summer is a season of no-holds-barred, unapologetic and flamboyant colors. (Is it possible to use more adjectives in that sentence?) Perhaps if I lived in the tropics I would become immune to this feast for the eyes. But living as I do in Maine, a state where winter hangs on (most years) till early April, I spend summers reveling in color - the brighter the better. 

These photos are from today. A day of colorful garden flowers and market veggies. The brilliant blues and deep greens of an afternoon at the lake. 

And jazzy shades of polish for our nails. Speaking of which, the girls and I (well mostly Brienne truth be told) use SunCoat. As far as I understand this Canadian brand is one of the most non-toxic polishes on the market. 

A day of summer colors. A day of summer fun.

PS. If you have a favorite adjective to describe summer's colors I'd love to hear it.

PPS. I have more colorful summer photos coming of our recent trip. Some awesome sunrise and sunset shots that I'm really pleased with. You can get a sneak peak at our photo blog.

This season does bring out my awareness of color. I like the word alluring to describe the season. :)

Green nail polish hasn't made it to this country yet! I love summer, and I love colors.

I have several adjectives I like to describe summer :) My favorite is BRILLIANT, but you already used that one in your post...so I'll have to say my other favorites are STRIKING, VIVID and PICTURESQUE. I love to sit outside and observe all the beauty around me...while snapping several pictures in the process ;)
