Doug Nebel took this shot of people frolicking in the waves near Pier 60 at sunset on Clearwater Beach, Fla., as storm clouds rolled in.
Send a photo of summer in your area as the season gets underway. We'll select the best to appear in On Deadline.
A few guidelines:
1. Please submit only one photo.
2. It must be from this summer, and it must be your original work on which you control all the rights.
3. As much as we like cute kids and dogs, please keep the focus on landscape and scenery (to avoid the need for model release forms and other clutter!)
4. Include a sentence or two of description about where the photo was taken.
5. Don't forget to send us your name, so we can give you a photo credit. Include your e-mail address and/or phone number (which we will NOT publish) in case we have any questions.
6. Send the photo with a brief caption in your own words to OnDeadline@usatoday.com
