We've arrived at our last prompt for #instacamp, my friends -- and this week, we're going to capture what summer is supposed to be all about.  Ladies and gentlemen, our final prompt:

lazy, hazy summer days​

To be clear:  I understand that for many people, summer doesn't necessarily mean a slowing down of any kind -- in fact, with the kids at home, for a lot of parents, summer means even more daily activity than during the rest of the year.  However, the purpose of this prompt is not only to ​take note of the times when you do relax; but also, to help you be mindful that you need to relax, and thus make an effort to do so, if only for 5 minutes.

So, decide to have a little lie-in one day?  Grab a shot of your rumpled bedsheets, as the morning sun streams through your window.

Stopping for a moment for a cup of coffee or tea?  Grab an image your steaming mug on your sunny dining table.

Stealing some time for a glass of wine at the end of the day?  Grab a shot of that.​

Show yourself lying in the grass barefoot.  Take a photo of quiet time with your friend, your partner, your child. ​

Take a moment to restBreathe.  And then, before you get up again, grab a quick shot.​

And as always, I can't wait to see your work this week.​
