Yes, this has all the poignancy that the end of the summer brings. Lovely mood suggested in the solitary picnic bench.

Gorgeous, Maria.

Although your picture suggests a certain poignancy, emptiness, and slight sadness -- which I can understand -- I've always felt energized by this time of year.

I just today was sitting on my front porch finishing up a novel TRANQUILLY enjoying this stretch of weather we've been having -- absolutely heavenly and so typical of that time between summer and fall. Almost Indian-Summerish. Crisply breezy without being chilly; clear, bright skies; a few leaves just beginning to flutter down, longer shadows; a feeling of newness (in the sense of new school terms, life paths)-- which brings with it a strange and irrepressible feeling of rebirth, optimism, youthfulness and excitement. The rest is simply too intangible to describe.

Anyway, this has without a doubt always been my fave time of year. It's a time of year that feels exactly like the song, "There's something in the air". I love it!

Hope you enjoy your autumn to the fullest!
