tastes of summer

One of the many reasons that I love the summer is all of the delicious summer-time eats.  Fresh fruits and veggies from the Farmer's Market, homegrown tomatoes, seafood at the beach, brewfest (or any festival for that matter) are some of my favorite tastes of summer. 

Over the past few summer months, I have collected snapshots of some of my favorite summer tastes and traditions... yum!
