The Light Came Through the Willows

September 2026

The forecast said rain until four. At three-forty we were standing under the willows near the lagoon, and the whole garden went gold at once — that short, ridiculous light Boston gives you maybe twice a season. Nobody had planned for it. That is usually when the good ones happen.

Write the second paragraph here. This is where you set the scene: who they are, how they found each other, what they wanted the day to feel like. Keep it in your own voice — the way you would tell a friend, not the way a brochure would say it.

Getting Ready

Describe a moment, not a sequence. The button her sister could not fasten. The letter he read twice. One small thing, told properly, is worth more than a list of everything that happened.

Keep going for another paragraph or two. Aim for 400–800 words across the whole post — the photographs are doing most of the work.

The Part I Keep Thinking About

Close with the moment that stayed with you. You were the one watching all day — this is the paragraph only you can write, and it is the reason someone reads to the bottom.
