corner view ~ twilight

the french have a romantic name for the phenomenon taking place before sunrise or after sunset, when for just ten minutes the sky and its surroundings take on a hazy colour of blue, hence its name l'heure bleue. always happy to catch that fleeting moment-in-twilight.

    the blue hour, or blaue stunde in german, my favourite moments of the day. in the morning, full of hope and possibilities. before night, a bit melancholic and full of peace. xo

    ooh la la, yes, very romantic!
    I remember learning a word in college called `liminal`, the state between two things we find those states to be so mysterious and full of possibilities... !
    ! I like how you give it a color, blue! Wow, is it just 10 minutes??!
    How precious!! ♡

    Love the blue hours ... but Nadine, it is more than 10 min., in my corner it is about 1 1/2 hour. Think is is more less the same in yours :)

    only the french would have a word for that moment. I love that 'blue' moment.
    enjoying your summer I see,...

    I was going to write about twilight and my French boyfriend. Time got away from me this week. But he said it was for lovers :)
