I do like the way the air shimmers with heat in summer, briefly. Mostly I like it because of how good it makes the shade feel.

It’s flat where I grew up, so it’s always a pleasure to come around the corner to mountains while wandering the neighbourhood. But it’s baking hot, so let’s go find some relief in the shade.


I spend a lot of time staring at trees these days, and I must say, it’s pretty good.
