Small town living sure is sweet, especially if you’re lucky enough to live in the Mark Twain National Forest.

Here, warm summer days are spent outdoors; playing, picking wildflowers and laying in the shade of one of our many trees.

During the summer months the forest is aglow. Light filters in through the trees, tiny patches of golden sunlight peeking through and out in the open fields, wildflowers stand erect; basking in the light of the sun.

And at the end of the day when the sun begins to set, something magical happens. All is quiet as amber light spills forth, revealing heaven’s gates.

Life here in small town Missouri sure is sweet.

I’m thrilled to be teaming up with the fabulous Alicia of Project Alicia for the Crazy Days of Summer Photo Challenge – a super fun weekly summer photography meme aimed at capturing the lazy crazy days of summer, complete with inspirational themes. We’d love for you to grab your camera and join in the fun!

Here’s what you need to know:

Share your favorite images inspired by the Crazy Days of Summer theme-of-the-week and grab our sweet button while you’re at it!

Please share your photos with others by linking directly to your Crazy Days of Summer blog post or Flickr photo, not your blog’s home page or Flickr Photostream. Feel free to share your photos in our Crazy Days of Summer Flickr Group as well.

The linky will remain open from 12:00am Friday – 11:59pm Wednesday.

Make a few new friends by visiting and commenting on the previous entry in the linky list.

Each Thursday, a few of our favorite images from the Crazy Days of Summer Photo Challenge will be selected and featured at Project Alicia and Live and Love Out Loud.

Next week’s theme will be patriotism. For a complete list of upcoming themes, head on over to the Summer Photo Challenge page.

Alicia and I are so excited about sharing our crazy days of summer with you and can’t wait to see your photos. Don’t forget to stop by Alicia’s blog, (Project Alicia), after linking up here at Live and Love Out Loud. Her photography is amazing!
