Time to get The Swimming Shorts, Smiles, and Splashing Out---It's the Last Days of Summer

These are the moments that will hold us through the long winter......goodbye summer, you're welcome back anytime, you were a pleasant guest.

Weeds, Seeds, and Berries

Technically fall is here and has been for about a week or so. These photos were preemptive to the changing colors on the trees. Before the trees stole the spotlight and filled the landscape with floods of color, the foreground at our feet was putting on a preshow.

Mike invited me for a walk with him and Bits, and I was really not feeling like it, but at the last minute decided to go. On the way out the door I grabbed the camera, and that should have been the warning sign for Mike: his leisurely walk was about to become a whole lot leisurely and turn into more like a game of red light-green light. Rule of thumb: if Amy takes her camera, a walk will take quite a bit more time and patience.
