there's a small window of time in which we can use and enjoy our outdoor fireplace.
it's got to be cold enough to make the heat compelling, but warm enough to make sitting outside for any length of time-fire or not-reasonable.

last weekend i was bored and uninspired until i saw a photo of a friend's dinner party, outside! on a dock, on a pond in vermont!
and i suddenly was gripped by the realization that if i didn't seize that very night to gather with friends and enjoy this weather i've been pining for, i would miss it.

(little did i know how right i was! the next weekend we'd have a snow storm!)

i rallied tim and summoned (begged? coerced? perhaps...) some friends and assembled some snacks.

and loaded the pentax. i shot a whole roll that weekend, and have another going now. i've missed that camera. i've been so infatuated with polaroid that it's been a bit neglected.

these shots remind me why i love it so.

enjoy today. and happy november!
here we go...

xo,
