GOODBYE SUMMER

It really seems that summer has gone away, without warning. From one day to another, the temperatures fell and the sun has started to get shy...

Don't get my wrong, I love fall (one of my favorite seasons), but every year, when summer draws it's last breath, I always tend to feel nostalgic. It is as if something in me dies. But, at the same time, autumn makes me euphoric, fills me with hope and loads me with a kind of energy I can't describe!

  1. Definitivement terminé, les feuilles mortes tapissent déjà le pas de ma porte.

  3. Au revoir l'été, mais bonjour l'automne, les pommes, les courges et les châtaignes. Les promenades en forêts suivies d'un bon goûter au coin du feu !

  4. Bye summer but autumn is not that bad. Anyway we had not had a "real summer" did we? You know? It was a bit frustrating. So I guess, autumn will be more than welcome and it's full of new suprises. I love changing season because I kinda get fed up afer 4 months....lol

  6. L'automne qui arrive recèle de belles couleurs, saveurs et surprises comme ces feuilles mortes qui craquent sous les pied des enfants joueurs...

  7. En ce moment, nous avons a la fois l'ete, grace au soleil et aux temperatures elevees, et l'automne avec les arbres qui commencent a rougir, et les centaines d'oies sauvages qui envahissent nos jardins, et qui vont bientot disparaitre su paysage.

  8. I love fall as well but it is bittersweet to watch the transition. Our fall came on fast - we went from 28 C and needing the air conditioning on to sleep to sweaters in a day!

    I had to pick all my tomatoes and bring them inside to ripen. : (

  19. Hi Rosa,
    I think we've met before but I saw you featured in FFF from the Leftover Queen and wanted to say hello. I prefer summer than fall but we also need some rain. Lovely pictures.

  20. Wow those are beautiful photos.

    This being my first fall summer in Switzerland it was a huge shock to watch it turn into fall (I'm tempted to say winter) almost overnight. In fact as I recall, it was last week that the temperature dropped 13 degrees overnight. I couldn't believe it. It seems so, so wrong.oq

  29. Il me tarde déjà le prochain... J'en ai tout de même profité pendant mon séjour aux Etats-Unis, alors le retour en Bretagne m'a serré le coeur, ici il semblerait que l'été (celui que je connais tout du moins!) n'arrive jamais... Et l'automne reste des mois durant par contre. Bisous, bon dimanche!

  36. Hi Rosa, I was reading your past posts, about summer and autumn... And I can feel the autumn through your pictures, the languid light, the fresher air. Although spring is starting here, and I'm grateful of that, I miss the past summer (I was there about a month ago).
    Thanks for your photos, best wishes,
    Marcela
