#138: Days in the Sun
If you live in the Northern hemisphere, now’s that time of the year when the days begin to feel a little longer. The start of Spring means you can look forward to afternoon picnics in the park, long walks while the sun is still up, and days that feel endless — like you have more time on your hands, even though that’s not technically true.
Celebrating this turn of the season, this week’s prompts take inspiration from these longer and sunnier days.
