the twilight






There's a certain quiet beauty about the twilight, when the sun has set but still leaves a lingering glow in the west and trees are mere silhouettes in the darkening sky. Sitting on the front step still hot from the sun, watching the stars twinkle on one by one, and breathing in the silky almost-night air is my favorite way to unwind. And when I head inside (after the mosquitoes have had a royal feast on my blood), I store up the calm until I can sit in quietness again the next night.

much love,
carlotta

    mosquitoes are really bad here in Ontario... but we get blackflies first. right now it's a mix of both out.
