And because a photography blog needs a photo in each post (well, I think so, anyway) - here's a little memory of the beauty from a Connecticut summer:




Oh, I can't wait to be outside in the sun again, feeling its heat on my back as I try to catch up with little toddlers, camera at the ready. I can't wait to run down to Harkness on a weekday with the kids, packing up sand toys and soccer balls, sunblock and sandals overflowing their tote. I can't wait for long evening walks with no rush to get the kids into bed since it's not a school night. I can't wait for the dirt to slide between my fingers as I pull weeds in our garden. I can't wait for the sunlight to warm the lavender in my flower beds, so I can run my hands along the stems, smelling its heady fragrance as it moves in the breeze.

But.

It's January. So, I'll just have to wait with happy anticipation.

For now.

"Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language."
