Due to the large number of submissions for our annual celebration of McGillians’ summer vacation photos, we needed to create two galleries. While the destinations are so diverse, if there is a common thread running through many of the pictures, it’s that we love our water. Be it aquamarine seas in exotic destinations or the incomparable beauty of Canada’s lakes and rivers, we sure spent a lot of time recharging our batteries in, on and beside water.
Thanks to everyone who submitted photos. As always, they serve as inspirations for adventures to come!

My garden on a rare misty morning: summer for me is a progressive slide from tidy garden plans to the overgrown woodsy chaos of August (with occasional attempts to fight back, as you see with the downed tree at center-left)
