neverspent | August 5: Changing light

I didn't have to go to work during the day today, so I stayed in my apartment all morning. I haven't even had many weekends where I could do that this summer, so it felt quite luxurious. One of the things I like best about being at home at odd times is that I get to see angles and qualities of light I've never seen before. (Sure, maybe I saw it last year, but the plants were different last year, so the light looks different on them.)

By the time I get home from work, the balcony, which is north facing, is in shade. This is nice for the comfort level in the apartment during the hot season, but it is a different way to view the colors and shapes of the plants. In the morning, the light is still a bit gold, not glaring and washing out the colors yet. It really makes things stand out.
