sometimes
our light goes out
but is blown into flame
by another human being.
each of us owes deepest
thanks
to those
who have rekindled
this
light.
~Albert Schweitzer

I wish I still had the seersucker jammies I wore each summer...they were so cool in our unconditioned home, didn't matter then, the oscillating fan cooled my dreams...
ReplyDeleteLOVE your new header lil' sister...stunningly simple...ahhh, the good life...
Good mornin' Tilda, thanks for the coffee and the memories girls!
That's lovely! I can see this as a promotional photo for selling the sweater - beatiful work! Very artistic. Such control over light and shadow!
ReplyDeleteShadows in Boston Downtown!
p.s. I am a follower now, want to see more of your beautiful photos :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the darkness and light that surrounds this sweater. You nicely touch upon childhood and how simple things were in those years. We had to care less about grown-up things, still learning was our job then, It is not so much dark as adults but certainly not as carefree...
ReplyDeleteLovely shadow shot, beautiful words, happy memories! You've captured it all today, Robin!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!

Simply the best. Feels so cozy. Perfect for the winter.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy SS...
Ah, the joys of childhood memories. Your image is heartbreakingly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty - that looks like a very special sweater some relative knitted for you - the best type of sweater!
ReplyDeleteA shadow of the past with happy memories. Great shot, great post.
ReplyDeleteI loved the sweater before I even knew that it was connected so closely to your childhood. Lucky you and lucky me for your generosity in sharing this lovely with us.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a lovely picture!
