The way the crisp blue sky meets fields of golden wheat.  A gentle breeze after a day of heavy humidity.  Long gravel roads ensconced in tall prairie grass.  The finishing touches on a three-course meal.  A lazy game of bean bags while waiting for pizza to be delivered.  The grace of hugging a sibling after a couple years of no physical contact.  Aromatic coffee beans, freshly ground and nestled in the coffee maker.  Surprise free iced coffee on a warm afternoon.  Casual sushi at my house.  Kisses from my adorable nephew.  Cheering on my nephew as he conquers bicycle sans training wheels.

Glimpses of beauty from a week in July.
