Nothing much has been happening,
But as I look back at some summer memories
I realize that moments when we have taken the time to pause,
To enjoy, to reflect and to learn —
These are the moments that make up our lives.
Life is for learning – but one’s learning must then be lived. Yusuf/Cat Stevens

The images speak for the words and the words pause to understand and absorb the images. Powerful and moving images, but then again you already know that. Nostalgia is a hard emotion to capture, you did so with these images I do believe.
Doing just what the images suggest for the last couple days myself.
