There’s a beautiful gallery of inspiring photos on Travels and Trifles.
What gives self inspiration? Flowers. And books.
These blue flowers are so pretty. Every year, they come back, and this year the blooms have been especially profuse. They wind through the branches of the cherry trees and drape the sidewalk. No one seems to mind.

Self is a writer. As a writer, she finds inspiration in books. These are a few books she recently checked out from her local library:

Finally, a very special place, one that self would spend every moment of every day in, if she could: the London Review Bookshop in Bloomsbury. When she sees the orange couch, she knows she’s home.

Stay safe, dear blog readers. Stay safe.

Some wonderful sources of inspiration – especially loved the blue flowers as we have nothing similar here in the southern US. Perhaps hydrangeas but never so large!

They seem to grow wild here, every summer. I know, I’m lucky.

Me, too. I love books as objects. Could never read on Kindle. Thank you for stopping by!
