...had me a blast. But today I dropped my youngest off at the school bus stop which can only mean one thing...SUMMER SHOULD BE GIVEN A SPEEDING TICKET!!! It arrives oh so slowly, and then zooms right by in a swoosh. Yep, I do believe that is summer fading into the distance in my rear view mirror.

So goodbye to summer's golden sunsets and lazy days, and hello to autumn's amber glow and new beginnings. Thing #1 enters his last year of law school, Thing #2 tackles her final semesters of graduate work, and Thing #3 starts high school (how did THAT happen?!?!?). And me? Fall means football, sweaters, leather boots, mulled apple cider, and a return to some semblance of order around here. I don't know about you, but I'm ready...bring it on.

Fantastic use of the texture - it really does seem to say 'good-bye summer' . . . I think I will make a list of what I love about autumn and post it too - I enjoyed reading yours.
ReplyDeleteIt is a time for new beginnings and you just have to roll with that speed, not that we have a choice huh? I get so emotional in the fall. Beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteLove what the texture does to the sun. I'm so ready for fall too, bring it on.
ReplyDeleteOh my God, Kathy!
ReplyDeleteYour work is so great, really fantastic! I want to stay in these sundown place...wonderful!
So lovely! I enjoy the speeding ticket idea. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved your reference to the speeding ticket. Summer always flies by so fast. Your pictures are wonderful. I love fall too so I have to make that transition. As you said...Bring it on! Football, sweaters, the colored leaves and of course your awesome cider recipe!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunset. It makes me want to be there. You're right...summer should get a speeding ticket. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post today, Kathy. Yes, I so agree summer goes by so quickly. But I embrace each season as I suspect you do as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous image! And wonderful texture work! Yes- I keep reading these posts today about the end of summer and the signs of fall, but I am still in denial! Really beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteFor us summer is only three month away. Beautiful image and I love how the texture has given it another dimension.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy ~~ I am glad for you that summer has left. I remember when we measured it on school terms. I too am ready for football. One thing, we don't end summer yet here in the HOT Texas. It will last a few weeks longer.
ReplyDeleteAre you taking bets on how much longer Thing # 3 rides the school bus? It seems they soon find 'car friends' until they drive their own.

This is so gorgeous picture, I really love it:)
