Each year on Your Local Buzz, we celebrate the Flowers of Summer\u2014a month dedicated to the bright, beautiful blooms that make this season so special. \ud83d\udc90<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t share many personal posts here, but so much of who we are comes from what we learn and pick up from our parents. For me, that includes my love for capturing the beauty in everyday life. I know without a doubt that I caught the flower-photo bug from my dad.\ud83d\udc9a\ud83c\udf32<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In honor of him and his lasting influence, the annual Flowers of Summer will forever be dedicated in loving memory of Odean St. Jean. \ud83c\udf3b\ud83d\udcf8<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To wrap up this year\u2019s celebration, here are six final photos of my own. Thank you to all who sent in photos, for following along and sharing in the joy of summer with us! \ud83d\udc9b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
