Summer memories: Our readers show off their photo skills
The Big Drop carnival ride thrilled folks at the 2017 Tour de Terrace, one of many summertime community celebrations. Joe Prall of Edmonds took the photo.
Gordon Everett of Lake Stevens took this photo during a July 2017 hiking trip to Sahale Mountain via Sahale Arm in North Cascades National Park.
Tracee Gorman took this photo in June 2018 from the deck of her Snohomish home to avoid being dive-bombed by the parent tree swallows. “It took me about an hour to capture that perfect shot,” she said.
“Life is simple. Eat + Sleep + Fish,” writes Sue Nelsen of Marysville. She took this photo at 5 o’clock on an August morning in 2017 on the Strait of Juan de Fuca off Sekiu.
Ruthie Florey took this photo of her twin sister, Gracie, and angora goats Charlotte and Harmony on the 5-acre farm near Arlington where they live with parents Glenn and Cate Florey.

The kids are back in school and the weather forecast calls for a week’s worth of rain.

Summer doesn’t officially end until Sept. 23. But let’s face it — it’s over.

All we have left are memories, reflected here with five summertime photos submitted to our Reader Photos page on Heraldnet.com over the past couple of years by Snohomish County residents.

You’ll have a chance to see more photography by Herald readers in the coming weeks, as we put together an occasional “best of” offering of reader photos.

In the meantime, you can browse all the reader photos, and submit photos of your own, at Heraldnet.com/Life. Look for the “Reader Photos” link.
