On this cold and rainy day...

It seems appropriate to post these pictures, taken only yesterday.It's strangely fitting that sunflowers should bloom just as summer prepares to turn itself in to autumn's custody. One last blast of what the glorious season is all about—bold color, exuberant sun, perpetual birdsong, all-embracing light....

Now it's changing into the next thing and the little sorrow of a falling leaf is upon us. "Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it," said Russell Baker. If summer would stay, we wouldn't suffer. Nor would we savor it so.

Off topic a bit...but I noticed you aren't playing my favorite "bee song"-- "Bees Wings" by Richard Thompson.

Never heard of it! I'll have to take a spin over to iTunes to check it out.
