To me, the most romantic things are not necessarily roses and sunsets and chocolate. (Not that I don't like those things, baby, if you're reading this.) Those things fall into a different category, a category that will still always make me happy, but an obvious category nonetheless.
I love the subtle... the things that hold their own quiet magic and charm and untold secrets...
But instead of trying to put this into words I'm taking the easy route and putting it into pictures.
Orchards
Vintage couches
Abandoned buildings
Laundromats
Old books/bookshelves/libraries
What unexpected thing(s) do you find to be romantic?

diners late at night, sheer curtains, seeing people who are obviously on their first dates and are way too shy to try anything.
fall leaves, the smell of pipe tobacco, the view from mulholland at night (it's a road up in the hollywood hills that overlooks most of the city, if you're not from LA)
Mmm...good question. I love the way lingerie looks in a big messy lace-y pile. I hate the fog in SF, but I have to admit it does give the city a dark, brooding quality that's kind of exciting.
I love all of them!
love that first picture.
and this is a good question!
books, fresh sheets, black and white photographs, freshly washed clothes... the smell of roses, long necklaces, slightly rough hands (on a man), old couples, old things in general...
beautiful post!

I've always wanted to get married in an abandoned rustic place. I'm in love with all of the pictures you've put up. It brought out the sentimental side of me.
I love the smell of old books, feeling hefty jewelry, the colors of fall weather, looking up at the hollywood sign, climbing up a hill, polaroids, and smell of my husband-morning noon and night.
Thunderstorms, polaroid photography-- they're so unapologetically instant that you can't hide anything. Also, vintage teacups, fireplaces, old couples on park benches. There's a little romance in everything.
Great photos. They are all so beautiful. Hope you've been having a nice weekend.
