Photo Friday: Summer winds down

Happy Friday, DMV! It’s August 21.

Today I offer summer photos from Mathilde Grant, 54, a digital artist and photographer who lives in the Georgetown neighborhood of D.C.

She took this pic last month at the Bannockburn pool in Bethesda, where she works as a membership manager.

“I love this picture because I feel like it captures … that first hint of leaves falling off the trees and into the water ... that inkling that summertime is running out so let's make sure we soak up every minute of it,” she wrote in her submission.

Mathilde also sent this photo after seeing the photos of Daily Dose reader Sandy Tucker of the crowds at Bethany Beach.

“I went to the beach last week … it was SUPER quiet in Ocean City, because of jellyfish in the water!!! All week — we weren't able to swim once!” she wrote.
