Leaving the boat behind




'Through the air there's a fluffly cloud falling down as rain'


A little update:
There is actually much more than a fluffy cloud in the sky, the air is misty and my visit to the beach was postponed until the weather clears and i can go and spend some time in a beautiful place i love.

I'm not even thinking of getting myself into a bikini, i just want to walk around, eat a Tripa de Aveiro
(a kind of semi raw crepe with cinnamon and the best egg cream in the world), sitting by the river beholding the line of colorful houses that for so many years were my child & teen summer background.

The end of September makes me even more nostalgic than usual.
Not sad -  just contemplative and with a heart feeding itself with the warmth of memories.

  1. I hope you'll have a better weather !
    One of the thing I loved when i was in Portugal was the cinnamon in the desserts ! In France we don't use that spice much :(

    1. Autumn always has the same effect on me. I think more of the past, but at the same time feel more hopeful than usual for the future.

  2. I enjoy solo walks from time to time :)
    This is a beautiful photo. I like the gradation from dark to light grey hues.

    1. i walk alone most of my days,makes it more special when i have company,i guess :)
      This was an exhibition near my house and loved the little boats made out of cement, such a paradox between shape and purpose!

  4. I totally understand the way you're feeling - I also get the same nostalgic sensations at the beginning of autumn. I miss my childhood home too!
    I hope the weather will finally clear up and you'll be able to do the lovely things you're planning to do.
    As always here, the photograph is a perfect match to your words! ♥

  7. I'm the same, the end of Sept fills me with a kind of contemplative woe - I'm accustomed to being against the arrival of the end of a year than welcoming it, I think.

    The beach awaits you, dear Sara!

  8. These last days have been a little empty and contemplative, only today it was as if things lightened up a little. I don't know why I've been almost considering to give up telling stories on my blog or stop taking photographs, and that made me a little sad. I love however how you are personal and poetic in such a beautiful way here! I am very inspired and I want to keep on going. Maybe I need to get my analog cameras fixed and shoot with them for a while again!
