For the month of August I was sick for most of the time which is probably why when shooting I was on the hunt for comfort food and bright warm colors. All of these images below were taken with my iPhone. I blame being sick for not wanting to take out the "big" camera. It's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
Below is the day that we sold our first home. I always loved the long shadows found in our driveway. It was a day to say goodbye but also a day full of relief and hope for the next chapter.

Always look up. Color found on a deary day.

Simple quick comfort food. Wishing on stars and hoping to feel better.

Always amazed at nature's color palette. I keep thinking this color/combo/pattern would make a great print for a shirt or skirt. Dark and light purples, hint of yellow and white with a bit of green - there is definitely inspiration here.

One of my favorite things to bake: banana bread with chocolate chips.
Note that the chocolate chips are key. Downside to making banana bread is that I am usually the only one constantly cutting away at it bit by bit. I then realize that I've practically eaten the entire thing, by myself!

(Sixth image alert!) An extra image just to note that we did get out and about this month. August did hold some wonder and magic. This was a day well spent at the museum.
