and
I'm spending them with a bit of a frown
both on my face and in my heart
~~
our summer has been perfect
not close to perfect
but
perfect
~~
perfect
warm breezes and ochre sunsets and bubbly clouds
perfect
butterflies and belly laughs and spinach salads
perfect
cicada hums and handholding walks and make me dance ipod music
perfect
late morning canoodling and tank tops
perfect
cuffed blue jean capris and raspberry gelato
~~
I'm sitting here editing a few photos
and
seeing this photo made me smile
really smile
the kind of smile where you wonder if anyone is looking at you and wondering what you're smiling about
~~
I have so many photos of little miss precious to share with you
but
this was the one that captured my
"little bit of a frown"
heart
today
and
I just knew I had to share it with all of you
so that you could smile
too

I love how you did the muted colors you did with this so the balloon jumps out. She's adorable; so are you.

ReplyDeleteMy summer was perfect too. And I am also sad to see it go... but this picture is gorgeous! It made me smile too.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth I am visiting from Soul Apeture, via another Aussie who posted there, well that's how we get around here isn't it and I found your Lens.Us.Together blog. How can I be a part of the posting, what are the criteria if any for posting and how longw will the abandoned theme last??? Yeah I know too many questions. Sorry just really love this blog and am learning to photograph so its great for me.
ReplyDeleteYour mission to make us smile too, has been accomplished.
