On This October Evening

Words & Photography

This time of the year - right now, on this October evening - is so lovely to me. Jeans weather, but still sandals. Mums blooming happily on the porch, but still there are green leaves and freshly picked flowers. Crisp, dew-heavy mornings, but warm, sunny afternoons.

I buy my mums when they’re still closed up so I can enjoy the entiiiiire blooming process and I’ve been waiting two weeks for these babies to get to this stage!
