If the last year and half of the pandemic and lockdown have taught us anything, it’s to savor the moments we can spend enjoying ourselves. With summer in full swing, we know our readers are fitting in as many fun experiences as their schedules can allow by dining out, going to bars, visiting friends and family, and more.
We asked readers to send us their favorite photos of the summer and they shared moments enjoying nature and the company of loved ones.
“Making up for 2020 and taking four separate vacations this summer,” one reader told Boston.com. “Most of them local but also a long-awaited return visit to Nova Scotia now that the border has opened.”
