These are the kind of pictures that make me want to go outside with a cup of coffee, and look dramatically off into the distance, as if I’m contemplating something very deep. P.S: I never contemplate things.
That’s good you don’t contemplate, sometimes the magic in the ‘things’ is their distraction. Beautiful day. Mel.
