While waiting for Lucas to arrive, I asked my friend Patricia if she wouldn't mind goofing around in a field for me. She readily accepted, and we had a blast enjoying the disappearing light of the dog days of August.

The lighting was gorgeous; we decided to camp out in a big field nearby the airport. It was alternately loud and then peaceful and wild.

Patricia had dressed up for the occasion, but what really stood out were here amazing eyes.

Wowza, yes? Even though it wasn't raining out, we whipped out an umbrella just to goof around.

By far some of my favorites, though, were taken by a metal sculpture, which reflected strangely and mysteriously, and completely complemented her beautiful blues.

Hooray for photographing outings with friends, is what I say!
