And stay GONE…) perfect. My husband was born and raised in northern Maine, & he truly suffered through this gruesome summer, so much so that he bought a camper that we’ll haul to Maine in the spring for our summers-to-come.

Since we still have family up there, it should be a good plan.

Now I need to get his new digital camera out, learn to download pictures (he shows me in rapid-fire order, impossible to follow along…I think it is called CONTROL!) &, as Fred First suggests, learn more about the names of plants and birds. After all, we’ll have both SW Virginia species and far northern Maine species to explore.

Kind of sad, summer ending, but I won’t miss this one. The lack of rain has about done us in.

I know summer is supposedly gone but if so, where is the fall? I’m so done with warm/hot days and I’m really wishing for some nip in the air. Time to get snug and cozy inside with a book and a fire…..

You captured the essence of summer perfectly, thanks for sharing with us!

And they just kept getting better and better. I hope you’re going to frame some of them or have a show soon.

Well done! Great photos too. All are very good, but my favorite is the one of the coneflower. And oh yes, where did you see rain!!!???
