The Blue Hour

IMG_0669
Summer has been so amazing here this year. Day after golden day the sun has shone but the temperature has remained mild. It has rained in the evenings after sunset but not produced the suffocating humidity that Philadelphia is famous for. It is how I remember the summers of my childhood.

Without stunning heat and mildew-producing humidity my city garden has done well. Things have grown and flowered that have never flowered before. One day last month I took some photos in that time that begins when the sun is going down and ends when you can no longer see distinct colors. It was almost as though I was taking picture through a filter that both darkened colors and made them more vivid. I'm also trying to get better at using the macro setting on my camera.
