Cherish the moments... by marlboromaam

Cherish the moments...

Continuing with my series of light, shadow, shade and a mirror... Come sit a spell and let us cherish the moments of peace and quiet in the warm afternoon sun... Actually, it's too freakin' HOT out there today! I wanted more shadows, but I cannot tolerate the heat and humidity for very long anymore. I just didn't have the energy to move this heavy bench around in the muggy air today. I should move to Montana or Alaska!

Speaking of cherish - a golden oldie! Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9tAdPN3FZ4
Beautiful
