!!!!!!!!!!!!! The one about the water on the pavement is so beautiful! I love it! I love the silver/gold imagery and I love the image of golden light from the street lamps. It's soooo pretty! I'm spazzing over it. :)

I wish I could have gone to Italy with you. You could have shown me everything. The pictures you took are so gorgeous, and I love having adventures with you.

I was riding back from work late one night over the summer, it'd been raining, it was all dark out, the only light from the golden streetlights in the church parking lot and on the street, and the water in the puddles reflected it, though when I'd gone in to work earlier, it had been silver-grey under the sky... I adore the way light reflects on water, it's so indescribably beautiful at night when it's been raining
