Today marked the last day of summer in the northern hemisphere. While my weather app doesn't appear to be letting go of summer for the foreseeable future, I still enjoy taking the time to be outside in nature to acknowledge the season changes. Even if it's urban nature. Or, I should say, especially if it's urban nature. Urban nature reminds us that there really is no separation. Nature is simply everywhere.
Even our harnessed electricity is nature. And a nice perch.
The flowers we plant in our gardens are nature.
There are still many flowers in bloom right now, although I can see their petals starting to curl and dry out around the edges.
These yellow roses still look fresh.
But the last of the fruits that cling to the trees are ready to fall. Pun intended.
I'm ready to fall. Ready for fall. Ready for autumn days. We had a nice rain over the weekend but now the weather is pretending it never happened.
Bu the crows know better. Their numbers in the downtown roost are growing more and more each day. I went there tonight to see them fly in for the last day of summer. A beautiful sight. Not as many as there will be in a month, though.
Every day of my life these birds connect me to nature.
Thanks for looking! Happy fall if you're up here. Happy spring if you're down there.
