Been wanting to do some knifed beach cottages lately, so off i went to do some late yesterday afternoon and this morning. sprang out of bed so excited to get some early morning light before the sun got to high and the light "washed out". you know, where everything goes kinda glarey gray if you sleep too late?
my fave part of this one is the warm light reflected up under the porch on the righthand cottage. that was fun to capture! such a nice complement to the lavender walls in shade.
