Summer peak...

Henry and I had a few hours at the Arboretum today. It was HOT and HUMID!! But, I love these lazy days of summer . . . Cicada chirping, flowers just a little past their peak, ponds overgrown with algae, intense summer smells just hanging in the air . . . I guess the season is firing on all cylinders.

Henry and I soaked it all in . . .

(I've noticed that I'm taking pictures of "hands" lately. I know they say that the eyes are the "windows to the soul," but for me, I think the hands give a glimpse into how we spend our days, how we live our lives, who we are . . . )
