Summer Challenge: Summer Drinks

What drinks are you loving this summer? A certain juice, soda, or just plain water? Smoothies, slushies, or ever-delicious frappes? ;)

Whatever you favor to cool your self down with on a hot summer day is, we would love to see a picture of it. 

How the challenge works:
Each week over the summer (June 6th through August 22) we will have a different theme that relates to summer.
At the end of August, we will judge all the pictures entered, and give awards. We haven't decided for sure on the awards, but we will have some along the lines of 'most themes entered', 'best over all picture', and such like that.
If you have any suggestions for themes, we would love your input. Also if you have any award suggestions please let us know. :)



Rules:
1.The picture you submit must be taken by you between June 6th and June 13th 2012. The Linky will close Wednesday June the 13th, so make sure you link up before then. ;)
2. You may only enter one picture per contest, if you have more than one in your post, please specify which one you are entering.
3. If at all possible, list settings used to take it. (Camera, lens, date taken, time (even if vague, early afternoon, late evening, etc), ISO, shutter speed, and aperture.) You can find most of this info in the properties of your picture if you forget what settings you used.
4. Editing is allowed, if you choose to edit, please tell us what you did to edit your picture! :)
5. If you don't have a blog, but would like others to see your photo, email us (our emails can be found on the 'About Us' page) and we will post it/link it up for you!

Here's my entry:

This summer I discovered flavored water. It is super easy to make, put some fruit in a jar and smash it a little, then fill the jar completely with ice, fill with water, cover and refrigerate 12-24 hours. Pour through a sieve before serving.

It is a healthy alternative to juice or kool-aid, and I love it! :)

Due to the lack of entries, we will be extending this theme another week! :)
