Stars

Sometimes on warm summer nights I like to go for walks after dark.  Our neighborhood, which I love, becomes another, more magical place on nights like this.  In the dark I notice things I don’t in my daily walks.  I see shadows from the street lights, or a back room lit up in a business. The warm glow of my neighbors’ windows are comforting as are the twinkle lights peeking out from porch rails.  The crickets chirps and soft floral scents waft through the air.

The people I pass on my late evening walks are different too.  Instead of moms with strollers and retired couples there are people running with their dogs. folks spilling out from the bar down the street, and a group of our homeless neighbors lounging on the benches.   I’m reminded on these walks that the streets that sometimes bore me after walking down them everyday still have secrets and hidden beauty.   I also am reminded that this place I live is more than what I encounter in my little bubble life.  My routines and patterns are beautiful things, but they contain only so much of what is.

On my most recent walk I captured some photos.  I hope you enjoy them and I hope they cause you to think about new ways to see the mundane, every day places of your life.
