on moments

  

hello!

happy midsummer

this past weekend i spent

away from the sea.

smack in the middle
of our ontario summer.




i had one of those weekends
where summer feels
almost like a dream
as though it's here now

but could be gone tomorrow.

the kind of weekend where
you come to appreciate moments
for what they really are,
fleeting and precious and so very grand.

i'm sure you know the kind i mean.

those filled with good friends

and good food.
the kind where memories
are easily built.

and moments 

easily remembered.

the kind when
you eat ice cream from cones

and corn from cobs.

when you drink beer from mugs

and listen to music 
from the grass.

the kind when
all the small moments 
piled together
really come to matter.

and you know what
it reminded me

that life is, in large part,

just a collection of moments.

a collection of moments

that lead to a collection of events

that then lead to the stories
that make up our lives.
and while that's a simple thought
i still think it's pretty grand.

the photos you see here
are from a weekend just like that.
one that has passed now

but where we sat by the sea.

where we drank tequila

and rowed boats.

where we ate great food

and had a good lot of laughs.

and where most of all 

we had those kinda of moments

that turn so easily to memories.

the kind that i 

and i think it fair to say, we all 

come to cherish.

that's all for today friends.

BIG THANKS for all your NYC recommendations, keep 'em coming!
