An Evening of Satin, Candlelight & Romance*
Dallas, darling, has never looked quite so beautiful as it does tonight. Beyond the enormous windows of my penthouse, the city sparkles like a thousand scattered diamonds beneath a magnificent full moon. Somewhere among those glittering lights is a rather handsome gentleman whose company I am especially looking forward to this evening.
I've spent a little time indulging in those lovely feminine rituals that make an ordinary evening feel wonderfully special. A luxurious bath scented with rose petals and jasmine, a delicate touch of perfume at my wrists and throat, and just enough makeup to bring a little sparkle into my blue-gray eyes. I've left my blonde hair softly tousled, just as he likes it.
And then, of course, came the most delightful decision of all. What to wear?
I chose this exquisite blush-pink satin and lace ensemble, a romantic confection of delicate embroidery, shimmering satin, and the prettiest little bows. Its beautifully feminine silhouette and intricate lace evoke the timeless elegance of old Hollywood, with just a whisper of playful sophistication. It's the sort of lovely indulgence that makes a girl feel enchanting, even when no one is watching.
I've arranged fresh flowers beside the bed, lit a few candles, and placed a bottle of champagne on ice. Somewhere in the background, a favorite melody drifts softly through the room, mingling with the distant murmur of the city below.
And now, reclining comfortably among my rose-colored pillows, I find myself smiling at the thought of our evening together. Perhaps we'll share stories over champagne, laugh about something entirely inconsequential, or simply enjoy that wonderful kind of silence that only two people who know each other well can appreciate.
There is something rather beautiful about romance when it asks for nothing more than a little candlelight, a familiar smile, and the pleasure of being together.
The moon is lovely tonight, darling. But I have a feeling the most beautiful part of my evening is still to come.
With love and a little moonlight,

I've had a scenario in my head for a while -- trying to get the right sunset clouds behind the Dallas skyline. This is getting closer. Usually storm clouds leaving to the east get my attention.
The Dallas downtown area from the Reunion Tower Geo-Deck, taken this evening after heavy rain last, a stressful and long day, made my way down to Dallas trying to time it at blue hour post rain I gambled that it would be clear. This was one that I really liked and out of norm I’m posting on the same day I captured an image because it required essentially no tweaking. @gothamtomato #developportdev @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @mpbcom @kehcamera @visit_dallas @visittexas #omd #olympus #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography
Downtown Dallas from Oak Cliff Founders Park, yes with some clutter in the foreground, but I love the light of this image, I wandered off looking for clean perspective from this vantage point which I did not find, my damsel actually lost sight of me as in my ADHD induced hyper focused search for a blue hour vantage point I neglected to let her know what direction I was taking off to. The very distinctive green outline of the Bank of America tower that is the anchor of downtown Dallas is prominent in this image. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #iphone13pro @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @apple @mpbcom @kehcamera @visit_dallas @apple
The iconic Bank of America Tower in Downtown Dallas, the tallest skyscraper in the big D rises 921 feet with its distinct late-modernist styling is a Dallas landmark. At night the two mile of radiant LED outline the sleek profile of the building, usually green but this trip when I happened to be there it was lit in blue. The Bank of America Plaza and tower opened in 1985. Bank of America, the tower’s principal tenant has already announced that it will be leaving, thus the proprietor and the city of Dallas are scrambling, planification of some redevelopment of the area and the configuration of the space within are currently happening.

The lit arches of the Margaret McDermott Bridge in Dallas Texas part of Interstate 30 which is just west of Downtown Dallas and crosses the Trinity River. The Margaret McDermott Bridge which was built as part of the Trinity River Project was named after one of Dallas’s most beloved philanthropist Margaret McDermott, the wife of the founder of Texas Instruments who was the first individual to make a personal financial contribution which ensured the city of Dallas was able to secure the services of Santiago Calatrava the architect that designed the Oculus Travel Hub in the World Trade Center in New York City. Margaret McDermott was born in 1912 and lived to be 106 years of age.
