"Summer afternoon-summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language." ― Henry James
Summer, a season as beautiful as its name, a time which amuses us with its scenic beauty, when the light of the Sun falls on the water, the green grass, the shady trees -- creating beautiful patterns on the surface; perhaps nature's embroidery! The Sun is believed to be the ultimate source of energy, and indeed, everything comes alive during the summer.
Personally, summer is my favorite season! Unlike other seasons, when there are restrictions in some way, because of rains, winds, or snow, summer gives you a great amount of freedom, comparatively. Freedom of dressing, eating, traveling, and fooling around! You do not have to restrict yourself to specific dresses or foods, because of the fear of falling sick. You can dive into the beach, make castles in the sand, eat popsicles, drink chilled beverages, and dress up in nice, light, and bright summer outfits. The atmosphere of the summer season is full of optimism.

With joy thy ruddy limbs and flourishing hair. - William Blake, To Summer
