This photo doesn’t so much scream summer; it comes as a whisper on a balmy breeze. Snapped at the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami at their regular jazz concert series, North Miami Beach residents Katie and Alex kick off their shoes and hold hands as they lounge on the grass to enjoy the great weather and great music. This is what summer is all about—hanging out with that special someone, enjoying the simple pleasures of life, like free jazz on a sultry evening. Keep this image with you as a reminder to capture the spirit of summer in South Florida every chance you get. For more photos from Jazz at MOCA, visit the photo gallery in this issue.
