Day 1.230: Summer's end

The nights are cooling down, the flowers are dying back, the parks and pools are about to close, school is about start.

Because the seasons are so marked here there is an anticipation about the transitions, the colours of autumn will soon bring tourists to the mountains of the Adirondacks and drama to our own back yard. But for now, even the end of summer has a beauty of its own. These transitions are subtle magic, so easy to miss in the flow of life and so worth catching.
