Last Chance

The calender may tell us its fall based on the tilting of the earth, the rotation of the sun and other scientific facts but when you live where the wild things are, they tell you in a language all their own.

The wildflowers of summer have spent themselves, outdone themselves really with one last punch of riotous color.

All the overblown fullness of summer is still there but just barely lingering

the big masses have dwindled to the last few, the late bloomers you might say.

Summer hanging on,

fall moving in with the vivid colors and bright berries that are its trademark

When you go outside, what signs of fall do you see?
