Since it's nearly the middle of September, I thought I'd better post the second part of my summer pictures this week so that I can catch up after two months away from blogland.
The blue mountains: the Adirondacks in upstate New York.
Weeping Willows swaying in the wind.
Summer clouds.
I just received Remarkable Diaries to add to my collection. In my opinion, these are great books; they give you a fascinating view into many remarkable lives. Armchair exploration at its finest.
One of my container plants. Begonia still hanging in there. The nights are cool but the days are still lovely. After all, the very last day of summer isn't until September 22nd. And I am sticking to it!
Brown Eyed Susan's, Purple Coneflower, and an early turning Maple. The Maple photo was taken in August.

Pastel on Uart 400 Sanded paper. As you can see the paper likes to curl up, but it holds colour and layers well.
Have a lovely week...

Weeping Willow trees are one of my very favourite trees. Such lovely photos of your summer. I totally understand you not wanting summer to leave, but I can just imagine what lovely delights your fall will present you. Another pastel in the works; just lovely.

Hard to believe we are already saying goodbye to summer. I'm glad we could get home to our cabin in July to enjoy at least part of it. Thanks for stopping by my blog and welcoming me back. - Margy

I love the idea of reading diaries. I listened to a youtube reading of diary of a homesteader, it gives you such awareness of real life
