It is September! Another summer is drawing to a close. Squirrels are scurrying, yellow school buses sprouting like weeds in traffic. Yes, another life cycle begins (or ends?). The pictures posted today for LIL, LMAC's Image Library, may reflect some of that seasonal flux. Are the images somber? I don't think so. I hope in a way they celebrate life, and experience.
If you'd like to borrow these pictures for any Hive use, please do. They will soon be in the LMAC library, where they will be in the public domain. Anyone may borrow them. Anyone may contribute to the library. Rules and procedures are spelled out here.
The LMAC contest is on a late summer break. Check out 
To all my readers, please enjoy every day in any way you can. Moments, whether captured in a photo or not, have a way of passing quickly.
