As the sun sets
Trailing behind a scarf reflected in the water —
Breathe in and out.
And pay attention to the those small golden moments.
If there is something Oscar has taught me, it is this:
The capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention to the small details of life.

Summer is short and the sun calling my name, so linking up to: Camera Critters.
