Beautiful conversations, people, places, design+photography
What I love about fall, a time for renewal, a time to
reflect on what may lie ahead. Wet leaves, wood burning,
tastes and smells, pumpkins, apples, cider, fairs, the
glorious colors of fall trees, cool winds, sweaters,
best of all the unexpected.
“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of
leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in
fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life
was beginning over again with the summer.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Spied while walking along the beach.
Love the neutral colors and patterns.
Every day I walk my dogs I have the pleasure passing by this garden
and it always reminds me of a Monet painting.
Claude Monet (1840-1926) Blue Water Lilies, Musee d’Orsay

Does this photo look 3D or it just my eyes?
Summer slips by too quickly so lately I’ve spent as many
nights as possible trying to catch the last glimpses before
it fades into oblivion. These are a series of photos taken
from Edmonds beach over the course of an hour at the
end of the day.
Photos were taken with an iPhone 4.
None of the photos has been altered.
Love these red grass reeds/

Before
After
Summer 2013 leaves a beautiful trail across the sky (in sequence)
reminding me of the beauty of the universe we live in.
None of these photos has been altered or retouched,
taken in my backyard with a simple iPhone 4.
I love the streaks of color.
Ah, the rain is back and it will be July 2014
before the faucet gets turned off again.
Why does summer have to be so short?
Perfect day for a straight up black coffee
at one of my favorite haunts Cafe Ladro.
Cheers, and here’s to Autumn
…and hopefully an indian summer.
