Vespertine pleasure

“A hot bath! How exquisite a vespertine pleasure, how luxurious, fervid and flagrant a consolation for the rigours, the austerities, the renunciations of the day.” ~ Rose Macaulay

For those who like words and are curious, vespertine, basically means ‘of the evening’ and yes I did  have to look it up but I am definitely adding it to my list of words to try to use more often.

That is super sexy, even though it is very subtle. It almost looks like hills amidst an ocean with a bright white sky.

From the same Latin root as 'vespers' ~ evening prayers. A bath is a bit like a prayer, I suppose, in that it's a way of letting go of all of our small worries. :)

That's a lovely piece of writing, I'm delighted to have learned 2 new words from that! Thanks Molly - your image too is fascinating, I love it's dreamy, hazy feel, reminiscent of the way a relaxing bath makes one feel - clever!

I love this (and Mrs Fever’s comment about letting go of things at night). This photo makes me want to slip in with you and relax.

I love the softness off this and the way that your body seems to melt and disappear into the water at the edge of the picture. It feels so dreamy ?
