Leaf-prints

The detail contained within the veins of these leaves struck me today.  The leaves were a little parched, shining in the afternoon sun.  The grass is turning to hay, with very little rain.

I popped down to get a fun manicure today. It is a small pleasure and makes me enjoy looking down at what I am doing more, seeing small disco balls doing whatever it is.  

The work-day was long and breezy, and I had a warming lunchtime conversation with a good friend about the strange things we would get up to as kids, as it made sense at the time - and definitely doesn't any more. 

I am not sure how all that time passed and how now I am hurtling toward the end of life, even though feeling like it only just started...
