Summer can be a season of colors — a beautiful painting of nature in her brightest glory. I wander out to my yard and see bold bursts of red tomatoes, sunny yellow lemons, tiger-striped green cucumbers, all against a blue sky full of fluffy clouds, and I can’t help but smile! The vibrancy and diversity reminds me of the Second Life community, and like that garden, our Destination Guide is full of amazingly colorful stuff!
Where else in any world can you jump from a Japanese summer festival to a Japanese Horror event with just a click? Or shop summer fashions then drop into a little cafe for some live music? Not too many places, I bet — which is one of the many reasons I friggin’ love Second Life.
The Official Second Life Flickr page is here we select images to feature on our social media channels as part of the Pic of the Day program — so why not share your inworld adventures with others there?
If your spot isn’t yet in the Guide,, why don’t you submit it?
