five senses friday



borrowed from my friend shari, who had the brilliant idea of documenting a week in this particular way and boy, was this a week for the senses:

seen: waves like sea glass, failed sandcastles, the whip of the kite in ezra's hands, the best thanksgiving movie ever, exactly four pink sunsets and one big crazy moon

heard: the birthday song (twice), a chorus of snores, a few human cannonballs, the begging of children (for night swimming), the quiet pop of cranberries cooking, the endless roar of the ocean

smelled: saltiest gulf air, secret coffee beans, melted birthday candle wax, elevator air freshener gone horribly wrong, turkey in the oven, coconut suntan lotion on my skin

tasted: stumptown coffee in the morning, leftover cranberry sauce on my toast, mashed potatoes and gravy, pie, pie, pie

felt: cold ocean water around my ankles, hot sunshine on the back of my neck, the weight of the SX-70 in my hands, a collection of shells in my pocket, sand (omg everywhere), thankfulness, thankfulness, thankfulness

  1. Exactly what I watched on my ipad while cooking. Best.
    Leftover cranberry sauce on anything!
    And the ocean?! Awesome, girl. Yass.

  2. If nothing else after nablopomo ends, please carry on with five senses friday.

  3. Oh, I might want to borrow this too. I'm in a rut, and I can get really excited about simple prompts. I'm jealous when the ocean and Thanksgiving get to be in the same week.
