Mid July...Summer is upon us

The gorgeous soul-searching eyes of my dear friend's new baby, Orion. Have you ever seen a more beautiful feline?
















After beginning my post with those pics, how do I follow that? Ok, well the other morning I got off work and took a bike ride trip to meet a friend for breakfast. Lovely summer morning, could not have been more beautiful.
Good morning skycrapers reflecting upon the canal...















And glimmering sunlight on the water...















And officer looking so silly on a watcha-ma-callit....















And amazing breakfast...that made the return trip a little sluggish...
















If you haven't noticed yet, I simply adore food.
I also adore summer. And last evening was an archetypal summer evening. Somewhere around 88 degrees, humidity probably somewhere near 220%...I walked outside with my book. Encompassed by the deafening hum of cicadas, I went to grab my lunge chair, and stumbled upon this...















Unbelievable. A perfect shell, even the gleaming eyeballs and every last antennae.
Anyways, yes, this confirmed to me that the dog days of summer are truly upon us. This was my backyard view as I lounged and read my novel while the sun sank the remaining inches behind the clouds.





















And I ended the night with a brush bonfire





















Fire is so mesmerizing. I will never tire of attempting to take pictures of it, pictures that never turn out how I want them to...but somehow still capture the entrancing essence anyways....
Ah, what a lovely summer night
