Possibly, but this was a pretty special arrangement. It's something I've never done before. Still, a different time, a different place, there will be more fun.
I'm trying to recall the time of day, Beth. I believe it was late afternoon. My camera records inaccurately and I haven't taken the time to try and fix this issue. I was walking past the table and had to stop and find my camera. One of my favorite types of moments.
Such a glorious photo. I'm sure we're all feeling a little sad at the goodbye to the cottage too. But I look forward to your images and thoughts moving into autumn also.
I thought Flemish too... painterly image, both the photograph and the goodbye. Sometimes knowing we can't return to a place makes it even sweeter and richer in memory. It's happened to me, just recently...
This is the first time I visit your blog and I am fascinated! Love the light and the atmosphere in this photo. I'll be back, that's for sure! Have a lovely day and thank you for sharing so much beauty and inspiration!

What a beautiful photograph, Denise.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Magda.

I guess the summers over?

Your photo is as lovely as Jane's comment is witty and true.
DeleteBut it was a grand summer, Jane.
DeleteThanks, Mise. We can always count on Jane being witty and true.

DeleteLovely photo- Bittersweet goodbyes?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Annamaria. Yes, it does seem goodbyes are so often bittersweet. But now we'll have memories.
DeleteYour photograph looks like an old Dutch painting Denise. The lights and darks create such a mood of longing and love.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
Deletethat light. stunning. it's like looking at a painting, one from an old dutch master.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amanda.
DeleteSo pretty. What time of day did the light fall so gracefully over your table? Were you reading or eating or just passing by?

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed following your escapades in the country, and hope your re-entry to city life is seamless.
