Earth Hour

In reverse order – two pics taken after Earth Hour Saturday night and one just before (choosing to not use even the camera during the hour):
The hour was wonderful, a well-needed break from electric lights, the net, digital music, and all the rest that we simply take for granted 99% of the time. And, with all of those out of the way, Julie and I simply sat, sipped our wine, and enjoyed one another’s company, things that I also seem to take for granted far too often in my “busy busy, rush rush” life.

The shadows on the wall just kind of jumped out at us during the hour as we sat with just one candle on the table – so when the hour was up we started playing with that, leading us to be a bit late to our friend Jen’s for a game night. Oh, what fun you can have when you just turn out the lights for a bit… 😉
