In case you haven’t been able to get away enough this summer, here’s a couple of  lovely little slices of  it, of being truly AWAY:

The first via Beatriz da Costa from her vacation in Brittany. The second, via Logcabineer: “A light summer rain”, brings sitting on a porch at twilight right to your door.

Perfect.

Happy Labor Day.

And here a few ways to celebrate it:

dept of chill: wine-friendly grape “ice cubes”
what would you draw in the sand?
improvising at the beach
pates’ tapes: hours of terrific music – free
recipe: fresh corn polenta
