Every time I hear this song, I am transported to a beautiful beach, surrounded by beautiful greenery and filled with joy. In the last few months, listening to this song has been one of my favourite ways to anticipate the hot summer days.
It is finally getting warm in Canada, and I am starting to feel like myself again; It was a really rough winter for me.
I have spent over a decade here, but I STILL can’t handle the cold weather. The harshness of seasonal depression hits so hard that I lose interest in everything and isolate myself from everyone. Even my vitamin D supplement gives up halfway through the winter. How did I survive when I had to commute to work or school?
As we begin to welcome back the sunny & warm weather, I would like to recap one of my favourite moments from last year. My friend/co-worker Misty & I planned an early photoshoot during our work trip to Palm Springs, Cali. The shoot was supposed to be mostly indoors, but the moment the sun popped out, we ran outside without hesitation, and all I did was capture her enjoying the sunrise.
As I think of this summer, it is all I want to do - rise and set with the sun, sunbathe at the beach and the park, sunbathe while walking or riding my bike, photo walks capturing people sunbathing, eating at patios, outdoor concerts and day parties… you get the gist; If being in the sun is a part of the plan, count me in.
I have nothing major planned for this summer beyond seeing Beyonce during her Renaissance World Tour in July (SCREAMING!), but I am looking forward to it. It is going to be a memorable summer; I can feel it in my bones.
Do you have any fun plans for the summer? Tell me about it!
Your Fave Captain,
ORIKHURÉ!
Yes I do
Concerts, and enjoying the summer
Trying to live a little more these days as opposed to just existing. Maybe I should get my tattoo!!!
Can’t wait to see you
