Evening (by pricklypearbloom)

Today is the last day of a little staycation I’m taking, a really long weekend before I start my new job. A few days to recharge, regroup, organize the closet. I’m hoping to get to that today. It’s been pretty nice, although it rained for 48 hours straight on Thursday and Friday, but I had lunch with a couple of friends, and it’s lovely to get to do that on a weekday for a change. Today it’s cloudy and kind of dark, and I’m relishing the candlelight and the cats draped over me as I write this. I think I might have apple crisp for lunch.

I was so happy to be invited to contribute to Words To Shoot By for the next couple of rounds. Words To Shoot By is a biweekly photo collaboration between four girls, each of whom puts together their own photography triptych based on a word. This week that word is “Evening.” As much as I love diptychs and triptychs, I guess I tend to forget to put images together this way, so this is a nice challenge for me. And as the days grow shorter this autumn, evening is more often the time of day that I have available to shoot, so this word is so timely. Go have a look at what Steph, Robin, Kristy and Heather, as well as the other guest contributor, Claire, have put together to visually describe evening, and browse back in the archives as well. It’s such a cool group of work. Thanks ladies, for inviting me to play along!

    Really long weekends are good. I just had a sorta long weekend, but it could have been longer.

    What a fun photo collaboration to be a part of! I’ll be sure to check it out.

    Very cool you got to participate in this challenge. I love your images and particularly love how you captured that light (I’m actually impressed how well you captured that light–the third one is my favorite!). Thanks for the link by the way–I’d never thought of grouping photos that way and now my mind is churning!
