139. a sneakyart drop of summer

scenes from my world this week

Dear reader,

The beautiful days of summer are here. I am pleased to share them with you.

If you like having me in your inbox, tell more people about my work. Make a scene at parties. Embarrass close friends and family. Be oddly persistent. Don’t take no for an answer.

Today’s post is best enjoyed with the music of Nick Drake. He lived a lost, melancholic life, seeing things that no one else did.

This week, under cool shade and dappled sunlight I found a free library.

@sneakyartistlibraries are a good thing. #SneakyArt #artontiktok #fyp #artforyou #summer #vancity

Have you seen free libraries, used them, or managed them? I would love to hear from you!

Summer is time off from school. Children are everywhere.

to enjoy the lines, see this on a wide screen.

For so many children on vacation, I imagine, this will be one more summer that “lasted a hundred thousand years and still ended too soon.”

(quote from a favourite passage in Catch 22 by Joseph Heller)

Summer is also wedding season, or the season to do as the wedding photographer asks of you.
