In a world of masked moments and little travel, summer photos and poetry provide us with global adventures, albeit virtually. Join me in the final Embraceable Summer Gallery Walk. Applaud the beauty of summer and its alluring call.
Do you remember pre-pandemic, summer concerts or gatherings?
I spent my #QuarantineLife summer without ever stepping in the ocean.
How did you spend your summer months?
To my delight during Summer 2019 and 2020, many digital inspirations were sent to me as gifts from across the globe. They provided an opportunity to relax and drift away into a summer moment while in a staycation frame of mind.
Share in the wonder of sunrises and sunsets by clicking on Summer's Enduring Beauty and Summer's Enduring Beauty Part 2.
#QuarantineLife's motto is reflected in Jessica Bigi's fiery sunset glow.
Remember the steamy heat that had everyone talking.

I would like to express my sincerest thanks to all the poets, bloggers, photographers, artists, friends, and colleagues from across the world for their contributions to this evolving gallery. Because of the magnitude of the collection, the gallery has been presented in six segments.
I hope you enjoyed the experience of taking gallery walks of nature throughout the world.
