Nothing awakens child-like wonder and nostalgia like a parade of hot air balloons, high up in a blue sky among fluffy clouds. While they’re not exactly a predictable mode of transportation, instead they say, “Let’s go where the wind takes us.”

There’s nothing like seeing the city streets or country roads on two wheels. With the wind in your hair and the sun on your face, a bicycle can take you just about anywhere.

Soak up the sun while you still can! Enjoy the warmth of the sun, the cool ocean breezes, pastel sunsets, and walking along the sandy shores. Here’s to summer at the beach, as seen by FPOE.

Whether you’re paddling a canoe across the lake or sailing across the ocean, summer is the time to get your boats in the water. Nothing is as romantic as drifting along the canal in a gondola, or watching the tall ships come in with a gorgeous sunset.

With summer just days away, many of you are probably planning to go camping, hiking, beachcombing or cottaging. Quiet places of untouched landscapes and fresh air. You’ll come back with cameras filled with beautiful images of the wilderness; endless mountain ranges, deep blue seas, and wild animals.

Many of FPOE’s photographers are world travellers with tales to tell and pictures to share with you. One of my personal favourites is Georgianna Lane, who has the dreamiest images of the France, London and Italy, from Monet’s country garden to the gondoliers of the Grand Canal in Venice. Visit her Etsy shops below, and also her blog for wonderful stories and pictures from her travels- whenever it pops up in my blog reader, I know I’m in for a treat.
