May the long time sun shine upon you ...

You know those summer weekends that are chock-full of good things and you try to be fully present, and capture the essence of it at all at the same time? Sometimes my impulse to keep a camera up to my eye seems to interfere on being fully present. I remember the advice of an inspiring photo instructor: 1) Have your camera with you at all times. and 2) Leave your camera behind sometimes.

While the two pieces of advice might seem contrary at first, if you think it over a bit, it makes total sense. 

Glorious Weekend

Winter itself, it seems, presents a compelling argument for gathering with friends and celebrating nothing in particular. We had our neighborhood happy hour Friday night, shopping and dinner with good friends Saturday, and a Sunday of laundry and gentle nothingness. Oh, and sun. This is what weekends were made for!

How was your weekend?
