The Friday Photo: It's Almost Summer!

It's a dreary day in Your Nation's Capital, so we were in a daydreamy mood when we chose this week's Friday Photo. Thanks to Lauren Kotkin of Washington for sharing this scene. As she puts it:

"I was visiting a friend earlier this month in Hermosa Beach, California. Her daughter Sophie made friends with a family digging alarge hole and burying their kids in the sand. Sophie couldn't waitfor her turn and when finally in the hole, she had a blast. I took about a dozen shots, but this one in particular shows the pure simple fun of being covered in sand. We had a hard time convincing her to come out."

You can almost hear the waves now, can't you?

Now it's your turn. Some guidelines:

1. Email ONE photo per week to us travel@washpost.com. Put "Friday Photo" in the subject field, and include your name, address and phone number.

2. Write a paragraph like the one above explaining what's going on in the picture, when you took it and why it's significant to you.

3. Photos should be from a recent trip, voyage, getaway . . whatever you want to call it. But try to keep it within the last month or two or three.

4. Winners will receive a Travel totebag; allow four to six weeks for delivery. Winning entries are subject to editing. Employees of The Post and their immediate families are not eligible. No purchase necessary.
