Is that a painting or a photo? Did you take it? It reminds me of the fifties, maybe Norman Rockwell, I love the colors and the feel of it. And I totally agree with the poem! Did you write the poem?? It is amazing!!!
Reena, Outstanding photo to go along with that outstanding verse. Wow, I loved both. You "questioned" August in such a polite, poetic way--lovely. Have a nice weekend. Mickie :)
This looks like a painting, Reena! It is breathtaking and, of course, the perfect words! Always a delight to visit your blog! Hope you have a lovely weekend!
Yes summer is coming to an end. The mornings are darker when we get up, the hummers are ravenous (I have two feeders out now) as they prepare for the trek south. Happy Weekend, Madi and Mom
That was beautiful. There is a passing sadness as each season moves into the next. Then, we turn and face forward, to find the glories of the season that we are about to embrace.
Delightful pic. I agree wholeheartedly. Fall will soon be upon us. Then Old Man Winter - ah, am I sounding a bit downcast? Not at all. All seasons have to be admired. Cheers renna!!
Do you sell your photos? At least two people I know want a print of this pic. Could you email me? betsycross10@yahoo.com Thanks so much. P.S. A bunch of us are from Cape Cod and have scattered around the U.S. This pic is so reminiscent of those days that we spent there. Betsy

Lovely words and image to fit the calendar and feelings we are feeling.
Beautiful- and so west Michigan too!
This is beautiful - love the poem
Gorgeous processing on that shot Reena!

Great poem, great image.
Ah, but that IS West Michigan... it's the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, but we call all that section West Michigan (west side of the state)
Great post!! A touching poem and a nostalgic photograph to go along with it!!
Come down here and you won't have to say goodbye to summer! We've still got a lot more of it to endure!! :)
It's how I always feel at this time of the season. Only I whine and mope about it and you say it beautifully.. with words and photographically.

Fabulous image Reena! Seems not many North Americans look forward to winter.
Time is fleeting and so the life.
Fabulous poem! I'm going to share it with my sister, who writes poetry fairly often, too. Beautiful photo and words, Reena!
What an amazing photo and amazing processing! I'm hanging onto August too . . .
My thoughts exactly! Lovely poem to go with that fabulous shot!
The end of summer always leaves me sad. Your picture really puts that into perspective.
And I am soooo ready to kiss this August goodbye. Too hot, too dry, too long! Beautiful photo though!
Beautiful photo and a lovely poem. I am not really ready to let go of summer yet. I hope you enjoy your weekend.
Exactily, why must summer end?
What a beautiful photo!!
Yes summer is coming to an end.
The mornings are darker when we get up, the hummers are ravenous (I have two feeders out now) as they prepare for the trek south.
Happy Weekend,
Madi and Mom
Love your image today. It does remind me that summers' days are running out. boo hoo!

It seems like last week I was waiting for summer. Where did it go?
Beautiful photo

AH, bu the memories! And this is a fabulous photo@
Your poem expresses exactly how I feel! That photo has a dreamy quality I really like. Goodbye to summer, I guess.
Altogether now: Me neither.
You've taken the words right out of my mouth.
That was beautiful. There is a passing sadness as each season moves into the next. Then, we turn and face forward, to find the glories of the season that we are about to embrace.
This just sort of makes me want to slow..........down.
no! don't jinx it!
ha!!!
Your images just enthrall me! And these words are precious.

Your photo is truly gorgeous!
I'm your follower since yesterday. :)
Yes it's going, going, going gone.
You took the words right out of my mouth. But you wrote them so beautifully, I don't think I could have captured that feeling as well!

Summer is not over yet here, it has come back as a matter of fact after rainy days.

Delightful pic. I agree wholeheartedly. Fall will soon be upon us. Then Old Man Winter - ah, am I sounding a bit downcast? Not at all. All seasons have to be admired. Cheers renna!!

Glad I did though - beautiful!
Wow! What a gorgeous photo!

My sentiments exactly. Only you said much more eloquently than ever I could.
Somehow I missed this one-BEAUTIFUL!! And yes...alas it does seem like a lamentful thing to say good-bye to the summer.
Do you sell your photos? At least two people I know want a print of this pic. Could you email me?
