Dreaming of summer (and free wedding cake)

It was nearly 65 degrees in Denver today (almost a record), and it got me thinking of how exciting the thought of summer can be in the deepest mid-winter. Except it wasn't mid-winter on this winter's day, it was like springtime. Which makes me think of summer colors. And summer adventures. Lots of them.

See, in Denver, the months of January thru early April-ish are officially sponsored by two colors: brown and gray. And unless you trek up to the mountains for a winter-wonderland feel, it's a unique challenge to get some colorful nature backgrounds in the city.

You implore your client to bring the fuschia-infused scarf, and you explore the urban kaleidoscope in LoDo for the striking background you want. But the emerald-green foliage of summer, yes. The slow-motion sunsets of summer that seem to sing gold. Yes, that's the ultimate time for photos.

I also miss the free artisanal wedding cake. Summer can't come soon enough.
