Summer Essentials: Photos

There is something about seeing the perfect summery photograph that just puts you in that summer-state-of-mind.  It makes me want to be out on that dock dipping my toes into the water, or run out on the sand in the sun.  Today's summer essentials aren't just photographs, but a state-of-mind.  I hope these pictures inspire you to kick off your flip flops, run through the grass, and catch some fireflies in a mason jar.
