Nothing says ‘summer’ like a dripping kid fresh from the pool, wrapped in a colourful towel, right?<\/p>\n

Then again, a kid on a swing is another great way to define summer. (I love his smile, but I may be biased.)<\/p>\n

If you read my post from a few days ago, you would be correct to assume these are not my flowers. Luckily, I have neighbours who are far better gardeners than me!<\/p>\n

I have a real acorn thing. I can’t help but collect them if I happen to see an oak tree shedding them. But, I’ve never actually noticed one growing on the tree before. I am ridiculously pleased about both this discovery, this photograph, and this quote I found to go with it: “Every oak tree started out as a couple of nuts who stood their ground.” Ha!<\/p>\n

Another joy from nature this time of year is the bullrush. I don’t know why I am fascinated by these things, but I am! I like how desaturating this turned it from a bullrush in a ditch beside the school into something more about shape and form.<\/p>\n

One of the other great things about late summer, aside from the golden, delicious light, is the morning fog that is a gift from the cool nights and humid mornings. I love how this looks almost like a fairy garden to me, and composed it so you feel invited to let your eyes walk from the dark foreground, through that gate and right into the light.<\/p>\n

This last set is a trilogy that I wanted to put up as its own blog post, but I clean ran out of time.<\/p>\n

This shot is the keeper. Lucas loves kitty, but I do suspect the love is unrequited.<\/p>\n

(I think the expression on Willie’s face is priceless. And the fact that Lucas’s face is still attached to his head is a testament to Willie’s good nature!)<\/p>\n

I hope your week is filled with delicious colour and gorgeous light!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
