a saturday in september.

i love taking the train. this is something i don't have opportunity to do very often. this is how the best adventures always begin!
we spent the first part of our saturday picnicking by the side of a canal. something unique to Utrecht are the deep set canals. it's so lovely to sit 'below' the city and observe the Venetian gondolas passing by!



an important element of any day off is enjoying a good cappuccino in a cafe with a gezellige sfeer no less.



we wandered through the streets as the sun was setting its golden tones, perfectly depicting and closing off a lovely fall day. i went crazy with taking pictures so that i could learn how to use my new lens. i had fun experimenting and realizing its capabilities.




speaking of "perfect", this looks like the perfect setting for a very romantic date : )


we ended our day at the Tivoli, listening to the Bowerbirds, all the way from North Carolina. It's always fun discovering American bands while living in europe. i love their unique sound. (i mean the girl plays the accordian, so of course i'm gonna love it!) they are currently getting the most frequent play while i'm doing the dishes or working from home.



now you've shared in our September Saturday. Check out my flickr site for more photos!
