Magic Hour Moments

   

There are some days, and more often then not the difficult ones, that make that age-old saying really come to mind: it's the simple things. 

A few good friends and family around you, some good cheap food in front of you, a warm breeze, a good conversation, a beer in your hand. 

Nothing with a high price tag even comes close. 

Magic Hour

This evening when I came home from work, I walked in the door to a beautiful sunset glow. The leaves of the trees cast beautiful shadows on the walls from the setting fire in the sky, and my entire apartment was bathed in the warmest light. I love this time of day. This is my "magic hour," and it's really spectacular in this apartment, which has all west-facing windows. 

These were a couple snaps I took of the magical light dancing on my kitchen "window garden" - basil, carrot tops, lavender and mint growing out of teapots and teacups on the windowsill. With the crisp, its-almost-autumn breeze blowing gently through the open windows... I was very happy today. 

It was just a beautiful day.
