Just one blossom remains on this wild chicory plant. Many others are totally bare already.
Schools start up again in about three weeks signaling the end of summer vacations for a lot of people. It won't be long before we start to hear the harvesters out in the vineyards.
So strange to think of summer waning already. Then again, it's not already. It's due. I don't like to wish the time away, but it's so much nicer here when all the out-of-towners go back to work.
ReplyDeleteWow. Those colors are fabulous. Nice shot !
ReplyDeleteLes saisons sont beaux, n'est-ce pas?
ReplyDeleteI was sitting in our car waiting for my husband to get back from his walk - the leaves on the tree above me had turned yellow and as the wind blew I was in a yellow "snowstorm".
ReplyDeleteNo Words.
ReplyDeletethe same is here autumn on the way
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture and bright colour, Walt! And over here... days are getting longer: spring is about to come :-)!
ReplyDeleteSchools have reopened here in NC, which I find very odd. But then, they end the school year sometime in May, I think, rather than June.
ReplyDeleteI noticed yesterday that the greens are changing--the trees have lost that lush, bright color, and the green is fading off into duller shades.
mitch, August will be over in two weeks! Yikes...
ReplyDeletestuart, thanks!
