mosaic muse : signs of summer

As I unpack from vacation I'm having a hard time resisting the urge to edit photos over laundry.  I decided a compromise was in order, in between loads of towels and mildewing swimsuits I cruised the Mortal Muse pool for signs of summer.  I found and overwhelming number of images that embodied how summer feels to me. The soft afternoon haze, burst of bright colors, deliciously ripe fruit, fleeting rainbows, squealing kids and cooling off in the pool. So much color and warmth it makes me wish that I could have a summer do over. I'm just not ready to let go of the season. Are you?

mosaic muse; everyday beauty

As I sit in my office and count the days (2!) until my vacation begins I dream of wide open spaces and fields of green. The Everyday Beauty Flickr pool has been helping me fuel these dreams. It seems that many of you have been taking advantage of the warm summer days and getting outdoors. I'm very inspired by all of the beautiful greens that you all have captured. I hope to enjoy and capture some greens of my own during my vacation to the west coast next week.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your summers with us in the Mortal Muses Flickr pools. We're happy to share these mosaics while we're hard at work on the site redesign. It's getting pretty exciting at Muse HQ and we're looking forward to the big reveal. Stay tuned!
