Republic – 08/31/2011 – Time seems to be passing by quickly, especially if you consider that it seemed like just the other day I was welcoming the first week of August. Now today is the month’s final day and I don’t know where the time went. My wife has developed a beautiful flower garden outside our home, consisting mostly perennials, most of which have become some of my favorites.
August 12th was a beautifully sunny day, upon arriving home from work, I passed by the garden and noticed the bumble bees busy gathering on the purple cone flowers, working towards finishing up their day’s tasks. I decided this subject would make for a good picture since the flower’s appearance attracted my attention with its contrast of textures and colors.
This morning, the scene is not so attractive; the vibrant colors have faded, the bees are sleeping in due to the cooler morning temperature and the cone flowers are reaching the seed-bearing stage. I enjoyed this summer’s warm weather but it didn’t seem to last long enough for me. I wish I could say that if I misplaced my snow shovel, it would have a direct bearing in delaying the inevitable winter that is ahead but that is not the case!!!
