« love thursday: list #3 -- 10 more things i love »

1. The first bite of a single scoop of ice cream in a sugar cone on a really hot day. The bites that follow are great, but never as good as that first one.
2. A single Godiva dark chocolate truffle. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but one of these will make me happy for a straight month.
3. Sitting on my front sidewalk in the late evening in order to take photographs. I love how warm the concrete feels.
4. That moment when you slide between the sheets of your own bed after travel, or a long day. Bliss.
5. Moving the shower curtain aside when I'm getting Alex out of the shower in the morning. She always makes sure she's in some crazy rockstar pose when the curtain moves, and I laugh every time.
6. Marcus' salads. Marcus is an amazing cook, but his highly elaborate salads are the stuff of legend.
7. The sound of the binding of a new book cracking the first time I open it to read. It's gonna be a good long while before I hop on the Kindle bandwagon, I think.
8. Brand new, clean, empty journals. So much potential!
9. Traveling to a new place, and coming across the perfect, photo op -- lots of colour, lots of texture.
10. The shock of the saltiness of seawater the first time I jump into the ocean after a long time away.
Happy Love Thursday, friends. May you enjoy something you love today.

I am with you on that kindle thing, I don't know if I can give up the feel of holding a book in my hands. This is a fun list! Happy Love Thursday!

You are so darling!!! I was at EVO at was asking you silly questions and little did I know that you are a fellow photographer and such an inspiring person overall. You were amazing at EVO and I have Brene Brown's cute mantra card nestled above my computer. I love how authentic you are, it really shines through. I too love empty journals for the same reason. Thanks for being you.
And - I'll add one of my own to the list.
The colors of the quiet early morning are one of the things I most love:

The thought of crazy rock star poses makes me smile too. Maybe we should do this as adults?
I sighed at #4. That's a really good one. Happy Love Thursday!

Thanks for sharing, happy love Thursday!
A week ago an iconic and historic restaurant in my home town of Lexington, VA was destroyed by fire. While it has been a heartbreak for the people of Lexington, VA area, the community has come together to share memories and help with the rebuild. My Love Thursday is my tribute to this magnificent restaurant and it's signature sign.
HAPPY LOVE THURSDAY - THE LOSS OF A LEXINGTON ICON
I seen a commercial for the Kindle last night...the one on the beach, waves crashing in, the sound of the beach roaring and as it pans out you see the people, sitting in their beach chairs suppossedly enjoying a typical day at the beach, reading ...but from a Kindle. Doesnt take the place of a book, I'm sorry.
Would Marcus share some of his salad recipes? Pretty please?
My happy- glitter because it makes my girls so happy.
