Summertime With Esther Williams

Next month is the centennial of the birth of Esther Williams, who was born in Inglewood, California, on August 8, 1921.

In celebration of that upcoming event, here's a collection of photos of the MGM swimming star which I feel really capture the joy of being in the water during summertime. Enjoy!
