I'm pretty sure our AFTER DARK diptych could also be called "quintessential summer," don't you? Melody's V is just gorgeous in the dusk of the beach. I love being at the beach at sunset, and being on the west coast, we get quite a show over the water. The only problem is, you have to be there really late during the summer months to see the sun actually go down, so we've often gone home for the day before this gorgeous time.
I was tickled when Mel suggested AFTER DARK as our theme because I knew I had the perfect opportunity. We hosted the First Annual Summer Solstice Movie Night in our backyard, and what fun it was! We told friends to BYOC (bring your own chairs) and the movie started up at 9:00pm. A late night for the kids, but what a treat! Bonus points for naming that movie:).
Next week, we'll be doing WATER, so come on back. Remember to visit everyone's blogs and our Flickr group.

Sorry!
That's a great theme and I LOVE your movie night!!! How FUN is that? I think I'd love to try that with our neighborhood?!? . . . or family. Love Melody's photo on the beach - lovely, calming, my cup-of-tea!!!
Corey and I did the Summer Adventures! (I think!!!!!)
LOVE YOUR PAIRING. Back to the future. great movie! :) such a fun set. I love the idea of an outdoor movie night. very cool!
What a stunning theme and just LOVE both your interpretations of it....btw Movie is "Back to the Future", what a lovely idea, such fun :0)
Looks like cool fun - on both ends. The light from the movie screen gives a neat effect on the people watching in the chairs.
Lee and I had fun with some Shimmer
Okay, I seriously want to switch lives for a few days so I can enjoy the beach and the backyard movie night. So cool!
Oh, Carrie and I did "Splash" this week.
What a cool idea, movie night in the backyard. That's gotta be fun. :) Back to the future is awesome too. Nice choice.
Marty and I did TOYS. We both felt pretty challenged about after dark.
that was in your backyard?? how fun!
AFTER DARK, looking forward to it already. Long, tiring day and it's only 4:13 here.
What a cool idea! When I was in high school we would always go to the drive-in on those long summer days. Drive-ins are hard to come by these days, so maybe we'll adopt your idea. And Back To The Future will definately be on our playlist!
Here is S is for Spaghetti. I can't believe that we're already on S!
Such great takes on your theme.
Puna and I played also with some chaos
You are so right, nothing say summer like sunsets on the beach. I movie idea. We were thinking of doing something like that in our neighborhood.
