Except for the eclipse I didn't take that many photos in August. That month was dominated by the beginning of the school year and me going back to work. It was very hectic and extremely busy setting up the high school library and providing about 1600 students with their different textbooks and English novels.
No wonder that my favorite photo for August is one of quietness from a slow morning with my favorite girl. This summer when Kaefer was home from college we often went to our small neighborhood coffee joint to have a delicious cup of coffee, get a sweet treat from the bakery and sit and chat with the neighbors. It brings back memories of lazy summer days when we could spend our time with sweet nothingness and just enjoy being there. It held talks of the future, laughter about silly jokes and comfortable silence. Looking back at it just one week before she'll return to college it already carries the hint of bittersweet feelings.

Sounds exactly like what my girl and I would do on a late summer day.
Your photo reminds me of how I spent most of my day today - with my daughter, just the two of us. :)
That is a glorious image of your precious girl.
I hope that the sweetness dominates, but so understand the bittersweet...
Teaching/working in a school is a lot of work! I hope it has been a smooth start. We went back to school the first week of August. Busy, but good!
What a sweet memory and photo of your beautiful girl.
You have a beautiful daughter! Wishing you both a wonderful year!
What a lovely reminder of those gorgeous lazy days of summer and quality time spent with your sweet daughter and the easy and loving connection you have with her. A lovely shot of her here!
I can see why that's your favorite photo. She is lovely!
I'm not ready for September. It's not that I have to go back to work but it seems the world begins to change in September and I'm just not ready. Setting up the library? That sounds like HARD work!
I know, going back to school is always so insane. I guess there is no avoiding it, but it is exhausting. Hope your year goes smoothly and settles down quickly.
This takes me back to when my daughter was in college and would come home to visit when school was out. I was tearful every time when she got on the plane to return to school. She lives with me now and we still go out and have fun together - though we're more likely to go for ice cream than coffee. :-)
It sounds like you've both been busy, I can see why you love this photo ... such a sweet, pretty, calm face.
She is so pretty! A precious time with your daughter!
