July on Snow Pond

I’ll be in the beautiful North for the next several months with my family. I cannot even begin to express how glorious it is up in Maine right now. Words escape me and even my camera feels overloaded with all the visual gorgeousness. I pick it up and don’t know where to point it it’s THAT amazing everywhere. We’ve been blessed to stay at a friends’ cabin on Snow Pond through July. Isn’t Snow Pond a lovely name? There is a more common name but I would slaughter the spelling if I made the attempt and anyway, that name doesn’t convey this lake’s loveliness as much as Snow Pond does The cabin sits on the edge of the lake and has a small dock for the kids to jump off into the water. Almost every window looks out onto the wide and tranquil lake. Shawn can be seen with his bar of soap and shampoo everynight bathing in the water and he says it’s the most refreshing way ever to keep clean. I haven’t been so brave because the boys are convinced there is a long black snake that makes it home near the dock! Nevermind, I am quite content to sit up on the breezy, tree-shaded dock and gaze out over the lake for hours on end. It’s been a wonderful time of rest and we are so blessed by the generosity of dear friends.

And I should mention that the cabin doesn’t have internet access so unless I head over to a friend’s home to use their internet connection, I’ll be pretty much out of pocket through July except by phone.

I also wanted to take a moment to announce the winner of the Engagement Session contest I’ve been running on my website. The entries had to be 20 words or less telling me why they deserve to win. The winners receive a free engagement session as well as $100 print credit. So without further ado, here is the winning couple …..Nancy Lefebvre & Nick Trojand!!
They sent in little poem and a picture of themselves as well:
“We’re Nancy and Nick.
It’s us you should pick.
We’re willing to get airsick,
To hear your camera click!”

You two sure know how to pick out sweaters Congratulations!! Email me with the dates you’ll be in Orlando and we’ll set your session up. I’m looking forward to getting to know you both!
