Now for me - and for this young water-sprite - it is already nothing but a memory...

SUMMER MEMORY
Summer is well and truly over. Skies are grey, the leaves are turning, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder. And yet, only a couple of weeks ago, sitting in the sun in Russell Square, it felt as if it might go on forever...
Now for me - and for this young water-sprite - it is already nothing but a memory...

Wonderful photo, indeed evocative of summer and light and joy!
Here, the trees, which looked so lovely from my windows just days ago, have shed far too many of their leaves and have the look of old dowagers with gnarled limbs who can only look back on their former glory with wistful sighs.
Somehow, the words "If winter comes, can spring be far behind?" are cold comfort.
What a delightful picture! The little ones that I look after were very proud the other day to show me the fallen leaves in their garden, as if they were the very first leaves to fall, ever!
ingsh: the strange melancholy feeling of autumn, akin to angst
SCB – Great description! Suzanne - Lovely story! Glad you both liked the photo which was, like some of the best snaps, pure luck!
I'm sitting outside in a cafe bar overlooking the mountains of Albania. The temperature is a very pleasing 24 degrees and the wash of an ocean that you two know well is very lulling. Sorry, what were you saying ? Something about leaves wasn't it ?
SUBWU : that sorry looking old git in a Grecian bar that has brought his laptop on holiday !
What a lovely photo - it certainly says 'joy'.
Boll – Have a great holiday and soak up the sun: you'll need all the stored sunlight when you get back to Grey Britain!
Sharon – It does say 'joy', but it was a lucky shot: the child was dancing round and round (and through) the fountain, but by the time I had got the camera out of the case she'd stopped. A few minutes later she was at it again and I caught just this one image –– the very next second some park official (probably worried about H&S issues) turned off the fountain!
