It’s the first day of autumn, but with a high temperature of 91°F here in Northern Alabama, one would think it’s midsummer. We have failed Mother Earth and I think she is angry.
Let’s pray our leaders do the right thing: UN Climate Summit
About today’s image: Today’s gorgeous image comes from one of my photographer pals, rift vegan. It was among several photos of flowers she shot between spring and summer. She had three different sunflowers growing in her garden plot–all volunteers! This one is her favorite, and the dark rusty color makes it a perfect sunflower to usher in autumn. I mused earlier today that I have more flower pics than fallen leaves to share for the first day of the season. I’ll share some later in the week. I’m speaking in flowers again as I sort out [and through] the other things in life.

I don’t recall ever seeing a sunflower this color. It has its own charm 🙂

It does. Doesn’t it? I was torn between this one and some really bring red-streaked ones I photographed at Publix a few weeks ago. So many sunflowers, so little time.

Yesterday was really hot and humid in Toronto, today—a little cooler but still pretty warm for this time of year.

This is beginning to feel like the summer that won’t let go. Today was just hot. I’m sure we hit 90’s again.
