2009 featured a very odd summer here in Chicago. All in all, I'd describe it as very short, unusually mild and exceedingly fast. It seems like yesterday that we made the first trip of the season to the lake and dusted off the wave runner, our rafts and our deck side chairs.
What can I say? Time is maniacal these days; I can barely keep up. We ended summer pretty much the same way we began...good conversation, naps in the sun, reading in the breeze, yummy wine, bbq's, good friends, runs around the lake and of course, plenty of doggie fun.
The early morning light at the lake is truly remarkable; I often wake up and stare at it, mesmerized out my window, but I've never grabbed my camera to capture it. A travesty, right?! So this trip, I snagged my camera bag and headed out extra early to capture the magnificence...the buttery light is really indescribable. And my amateur photographer skills don't do it justice - not by far - but I thought it fitting to share.
As summer winds to its inevitable end and you gear up to begin yet another work week, don't forget to pause - just for a minute - and let a little light in.
I hope 2009 was your happiest summer yet.
