A Good Day for Drying Clothes


A Good Day for Drying Clothes
Near St. John, New Bruswick, Canada.

From a recent post:
I provided my own image of a close up of water from a fountain to Edith Wharton's short story A Cup of Cold Water in my previous post, Summer Air. I got the idea from this line: White skirts wavered across the floor like thistle-down on summer air... But the same short story (in fact, the same line) gave me an idea for another image: that of sailboats on Lake Ontario. The white skirts wavering could be white sails billowing.
I remembered this photograph filed away, and thought it suited the excerpt even better than the "billowing sails" or the frothy water droplets in "Summer Air."
