{a fond farewell to summer}

. . . lovely to be back again after a stunningly beautiful weekend filled with sunny, sunny skies and balmy mid-afternoon breezes fitting for the last long-weekend of the summer -- even as the early mornings turn crisp and it's nearly time for soft scarves, tall boots and elegant trenches, one last look at the perfect loveliness we leave behind . . .

{spent daydreaming}

Chalky, chalky dove grays, pinks, and lavenders, as calm and serene as a rare afternoon spent daydreaming . . .
