Summer's almost gone...


The neighbor's son with his first trout.


The late Summer garden.


Ditto.


Our late season wild flowers around the pond.


The daily swim.


Indian Joe Pye Weed, a beautiful late Summer flower around the pond, much beloved by the bumble bees.

The folks around here call the period from 15 July to 15 August "High Summer". Other regions of the country may employ the same term, but I first encountered it here. The weather didn't really make it feel like "High Summer" during that stretch this year, but we are now enjoying some really nice warm sunny days with moderately cool nights. So even though the dates have come and gone, I thought it would be nice to capture the feel of "High Summer" with a few photos even as Fall is pushing its way into our consciousness a little more each day. More about that tomorrow.
