"I must try and cultivate an eye for life's mercies...
And life, while it has its ugly swamps, its vile weeds, and its sharp thorns,
has always its fair flowers to charm the eye with their beauty,
or to fill the air with their fragrance..."
Rev. John Flowers Serjeant, 1878

A fallish dusk...







Looks are deceptive. Summer's held her ground here on Pollywog Creek - only letting fall sneak in with a few fallish teasers while we keep the air-conditioner running and the sweaters in storage.

It's been a lovely week - with birthday parties and dinners with family, Emily's "meet and greet" with Congressman Rooney (I'm so impressed - she planned the whole thing), and lifegroup at Flora and Ella's. I'm not fond of a full calendar - I need space to stretch out, but it's all been so rich and good (well - except for that flu shot) - that I dare not complain.

I love how that golden light comes through the leaves. Thank you for that.

I don't like my calendar to be too full either....we've had mostly summer with a little Fall now and then but it went below 40 last night...today and the rest of the week will be more like Fall with temperatures in the 70s.
I'll be rooting for your team today...we still have to play the opponent.

I love dusk - I love the light - my favorite time of day. Your pictures are so lovely. I too am not fond of a busy calendar, my favorite weeks are those where I have nothing planned - I NEED time alone to just breathe!

HI there,
I must say that you take beautiful pictures. I can't believe that you take them with a little Sony camera! I was scrolling through your blog and read what you wrote about God not giving you something because it would distract you. That has spoken to my heart, and I thank-you for sharing.
Blessings to you!
