| Green Acres Canoe and Kayak, near Whitewater River, Harrison, Ohio © Doug Hickok As August ends and September begins, we start saying our farewells to Summer. In the U.S. this is especially so after Labor Day weekend. We say farewell to family vacations, long weekend getaways, and lingering evenings of ease & relaxation. Farewell to sun & fun, and cooling off in the refreshing waters of rivers, lakes and seas. Farewell to you, lazy, idyllic Summer. Though perhaps I glorify you too much. Mostly, you have been too hot, too dry and too stormy. Call me fickle, but I'm ready for a taste of sweet Autumn. |

Beautiful composition Doug. I will miss summer myself - probably because our Chicago winters are far too long.

Nice shot man. And Nooo. Sept 1st always depresses. It means summer is ending. :(
ReplyDeleteOK Mr Fickle you are.
ReplyDeleteFor all photographers - and farmers - it's either too cloudy, too sunny, too early, too late, too hot, too cold. But you manage beautifully.
you've described this mood of seasonal change very well here, doug, both in words and with your picture! personally, i wouldn't mind if summer stayed on a bit longer, but i'm looking forward to fall as well!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post Doug. But like you I am so ready for Fall.
ReplyDeleteI like it very much!
ReplyDeleteThe right image to dog this, Doug! I am hoping to see the Indian summer days too.
ReplyDeleteExcellent picture,Doug
ReplyDeleteThe waning light on the colorful and cury kayaks makes a nice image.
