The Long Arms of Summer

The sunlight where I live astounds me- there is really a special sort of light here, especially this time of year- there's a stillness to it, and a long slant, like the sunlight you see at four o'clock, only it seems to last all day. It feels dreamlike, and magical, as if any moment, if I move too quickly, I might just wake up.

    Great pictures and beautiful post! The sunlight is changing here as well and I love it.

    Unrelated side note: Do you have time to join Adrienne and me for "How I Wear My: Neon"? I feel quite certain you have neon in that closet of yours. Do share it with the rest of us (or think about it, anyway). XO, Jill

    lovely dress, and how exciting that you have echinacea flower. I don't think I've ever seen one in real life!

    I love that beautiful dress! The sun is definitely "shifting" but it's still baking us to a crisp here in Nashville.

    Hello, my dear sister.
    I love to live the present, but somehow I always look forward for the mild autumn in the south.
    You are looking beautiful.

    Your poetic description of this time of year fits perfectly with how I feel right now. The transition into fall, the shorter days, the chill in the evening and morning air. Yes, it is dreamlike. Like your photos and your words.
