“A beautiful day in San Francisco is the most beautiful day on earth.”
There was a time when I would have agreed with Mr. Mosley. That was before I moved to Seattle. And I’m not saying that only because I appreciate them more here.

SF speaks to me on a deep level. Kind of a soulmate. Every time I go there the weather breaks and the city wraps its arms around me.

Adelaide would be one of the most beautiful days in my life. It happened that it was a ‘beautiful day’ and it was the day I got married, the sun was shining, but not too much, it was the most beautiful day on earth, but not because of the weather.
However, one of the others was in Paris - I was overwhelmed by the beauty of everything and everyone around me, particularly one man, but it wasn’t a ‘beautiful day’ - it was 8 degrees, overcast and grey. It left me breathless.
It’s true that it doesn’t have anything to do with where you are, but when those days occur and the weather is divine or the place is incredible, then the effect is absolute and overwhelming.
Somehow I don’t believe that this was exactly a random Scrine. (looks at ‘mouse flintily) But of course I’m not complaining.
Oh, I love this one. Thanks for pinning it for me, bake. Into my stash this beauty goes.
