Summer arrived early this year and there was plenty of warm weather to go around. Last week the AnnArbor.com staff shared some of our favorite photos from the summer and asked readers to do the same.
This gallery shows memorable moments of summer - some at home, some during travel. Some are whimsical, some not.

Lots of beautiful pictures, especially the Au Sable River image. And Linda Diane Feldt, your photo is both lovely and utterly heartbreaking. May your brother rest in peace.

I know how hard it can be to get oneself to go ziplining, even for a short distance and only 7 feet above the ground. I've read those ziplines for tourists can be 1000 feet long or longer. That photo of Notre Dame Cathedral does show climbing places, places for a climber to hold on; I'm thinking of the hunchback of Notre Dame, climbing here and there on the cathedral. It looks plenty warm for the South African wintertime. That is a tiger swallowtail in North Carolina; I've seen a picture of one straight on in an insect book. Glad that son didn't have any mishaps learning to drive a boat on our deepest Great Lake; there's been enough bad news of drownings in Michigan this summer.

Cruising along, seeing pictures of people's summer and all of a sudden the picture from the Feldt family brings everything into jarring perspective. I stared at it for a minute or two until my eyes welled up. Thank you for sharing such a personal moment. And I'm so sorry that the moment in the photo had to happen. Oh, and Brad, you looked at a picture of kids playing in sand and felt political rage. The political parties want this from you. You ought to reassess things.

That one with the kids in the sand had me going. I thought it was a photo from the Cheney family beach party and Grandpa Dick had buried the grandkids up to their necks in the sand again.
