i like these together, though. to me, they speak of spring evenings, and quiet talks out in the garden, a few minutes to assess the day before heading in for the night.

of course, when i took the top two, tim and anna were gardening and lindsey was doing headstands in the yard next to me.

and when i took the bottom two, most of our group of neighborhood friends were right inside the door, eating and drinking and laughing (i think a discussion of movies was going on...).

but still,
i'm diving into mrs. dalloway again right now, and so i look at these and see a quiet evening.

leave me to my fantasy, will you?

more tomorrow. tim and i are headed out for the evening. (but most likely, not a quiet one.)

thanks for reading.
