summer

July 2, 2012 By Alex Curtis, RD LDN

Summer here is flying by, and I am loving it.

 

ย This past weekend I had a blast biking, playing board games, and watching fireworks. While eating these popsicles:

It really isn’t a recipe at all. Simply puree fresh or frozen strawberries with water and freeze in popsicle molds. Sweet, light, and refreshing! Sometimes simple recipes are better.

ย I also spotted this little guy while biking a trail. I had no idea there were deer in my part of Florida! I also saw some crazy-spotted grasshoppers, little green frogs, and a turtle. Nature always surprises me.

ย 

Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:

What have you been doing/enjoying this summer?

P.S. Most of these photos are from my Instagram.ย

    Trying to do as many outdoor activities I can when I’m not at work.. Running, biking, walking trails w dog at reservoir, tennis, trying new fun things, dining outside at home and restaurants, perusing farmers markets, grilling, forgetting to put on sunblock, wearing flip flops and whatever else can be done outside. I’m trying to get work to budge! :-).

    The instagram photos look great. Is it easy to use? And is it easy to incorporate into your blog posts? I’m still learning how to work with my pictures . . .

    As for the summer . . . I did a “mud run” with some girlfriends this weekend (posted about it if you want to see some crazy pics). It was too much fun. ๐Ÿ™‚

      Michelle,

      Yeah, it is pretty easy to use. I basically just take a picture with my phone and upload it to the instagram with different “filters.” To incorporate it to the blog post I just drag and drop from the followgram site.

        Thanks for the info. I’ll have to look into the “followgram” site–I’ve never heard of that.
