From the weekend

I don't always, but on Sunday I did exactly what I said I was going to do... took myself to the cemetery and strolled under canopies of beautiful leaves. It was one of those days when people looked at each other in wordless agreement that we were witnessing perfection.

Even as I tired I was reluctant to turn back home. And so I took a break in a coffee shop and then dipped into the ravine, got covered in mud and laughed at myself. Five hours later, with the sun starting to set, I turned for home. When I got inside, I felt that beautiful exhaustion from so much fresh air and sunshine. If only every day could be a perfect Sunday, what a life that would be...

  1. That *is* the perfect Sunday. I miss autumn sundays, tromping in the woods and coffee shops by myself. Wearing boots. And two pairs of tights.

  4. This is so beautiful--we get none of it in Florida (I've been cheering for our much-cooler 75 degree weather lately), so it's wonderful to live vicariously through these photographs. So glad you had such a perfect day.

  10. Hello Jane

    Sunday was a beautiful day. I was at Ramsden Park with our dog, me throwing she retrieving sticks. Your images are beautiful of terrain of which I am familiar. I wonder if we have ever passed on the street?

    1. Helen - that's so funny.

      I popped up out of the ravine and went to Nadege and All the Best, so we were right there! That's basically my 'hood (though my place is in Deerpark), so odds are we've walked right by each other!

  11. Oh, those photos are gorgeous. I've had days just like this, enough to know just what these photos are meant to evoke. This fall has been heavenly so far.

    Thank you for sharing your day!
