Photo Love: Summer nights

July 12, 2010
The summer night is like a perfection of thought.
– Wallace Stevens
Picture from here
I’m quietly sitting still on yet another hot summer day just waiting and hoping to get a moment like the one above.
Here’s to the simpler pleasures of summer: the long-awaited coolness of twilight, a welcome spritz of cold water, a quiet stroll through your neighborhood, and the respite from a bright, long day.
I hope you get a chance to wind down and enjoy summer nights (for our friends in a wintry season, oh I’d love that now!)  
What is your favorite part?
Have a lovely week!

    Definitely the beach… but it’s no longer summer now here in the tropics. It’s rainy season and it’s not a nice sight. *sigh* I wish I’m somewhere cold yet dry right now.

    Love that image… so happy and beautiful. xoxo

    My favorite part is to see everything bright and glowing in the sunlight [sans humidity :P] … but an early morning walk in the park is what I would like the most!

    Ha! My favorite part is the end of summer! It’s sooo hot here, hard to enjoy summer, I’m so jealous of our Aussie friends! XO!

    We love to sit on our front porch in the evenings after dinner. We live on top of a mountain and enjoy seeing the city lights below! Glad I found your blog today. Do stop by when you get a chance! http://www.chattafabulous.com

    How I miss those warm summer nights! San Francisco feels like the dead of winter in the summer. I could always go visit my mom, 45 minutes away in the east bay if I am desperate for some sunny relief, though 🙂

    My fave parts of summer is backyard bbq and dining al fresco!

    Are you back in Singapore? I remember visiting there in the summer months and couldn’t stand the heat and humidity! Good thing there’s lots of dept stores to relax & cool off.

    Stay cool sweetie! I know what you mean…it’s so hot here too! I can’t remember a summer as hot as this one. Definitely having a lazy, indulgent summer though. Loving the long days & long weekend 🙂

    Hope your week is off to a great start!

    I am suddenly jealous of the woman in that picture. We are destined for another week of 90+ degree temps every day! I think this is been the hottest summer of my life!

    I love summer. The heat can get too much at times but I’d rather be able to go for a swim than have to be bundled up all the time.

    long walks around town, that’s my fav part!

  • Piper Jacquelyn July 12, 2010 at 20:23

    I love summer nights! I try, if it’s bearable, to sit outside every evening – I know come November I’ll miss those opportunities!

  • Midtown Girl July 12, 2010 at 20:50

    Delish cocktails at dusk on a rooftop in NYC is a fav of mine <3!!

  • LyddieGal July 13, 2010 at 03:30

    That is a cool photo!
    I love enjoying the long days, last night my family and I went to play mini golf at dusk at this place right on the water and then had dairy queen. cheap, simple, and fun.

    I’m wearing a scarf as I type this! Can’t wait for some sunshine.

    P.s. Sorry I have been a bit absent lately. Too much going on in real life. Hope you still love me!

    I don’t like the summer temperature during the day, but i LOVE summer nights! We got a new suv with a sun roof.. me and my sister just cruise at night with the roof off overlooking the stars at the night sky. and nothing beats sitting at the patio watching the sunset. what a great way to unwind your day!

    and thanks for the comment hun! I do miss my man terribly but each day that passes by is a day closer to us seeing each other again 🙂 take care! xoxo
