Maybe I can hold on to the summertime feeling a bit longer with a few more photos. Not that I don’t love autumn, too, and the sense of getting my ducks in a row as I resume a normal routine, but …
Susan Klas Wright created this beautiful rendering of waves for the Spring Street Gallery’s most recent show. Elinor C. Thompson is the artist behind both lifelike and larger-than-life seashells. And I loved Robin Bell’s haunting double exposures of island scenes.
Next is a shot of New Shoreham’s Fresh Pond seen through the trees. That’s followed by another leafy vista, this one of an old, unused building labeled “Concord Water Works.” In West Concord, there’s a pretty bridge arching Nashoba Brook behind the bakery where I bought an avocado toast Monday after walking a few miles on the Bruce Freeman Trail.
On my walk, I was startled to see a railroad light in the middle of woods. Was it public art? Something like Narnia’s lamp post?
I loved the profusion of Evening Primrose and the ubiquitous bumblebees, drunk with opportunity.
The final view represents my last Rhode Island sunset for the time being. It will have to hold me.

That sunset is absolutely beautiful!!
There were good ones this summer. Even the 4-year-old was taking pictures.
Thanks for sharing your summer. I am feeling like I am walking beside you
Of course, when we have walked together in the past, I need to hurry to match your vigorous stride, Stuga40!
Yes, the sun is setting on our summer . . . nice to have such good photos to recall special moments!
I wanted to include a photo of a new-to-me wildflower with a wonderful name, but it was too blurry. The name is Sensitive Pea!
That painting is beautiful! As you might have guessed, I am tickled with the idea of the “Narnia” railroad lights. Who knows what might happen when it’s lit?
It’s kind of a combination of Narnia’s lamp post and those mysterious train platforms in the Harry Potter books.
P.S. I’ve about had it with auto-correct. Second time in 24 hours that “its” has been changed to “it’s.” What the heck!
Delightful photos, and I wonder what it would be like to stand beside the railroad post to suddenly find oneself in Narnia… the last photo soon had me humming the tune to “ Now the day is over ,night is drawing nigh, shadows of the evening steal across the sky’….
Uh oh. Now that song will be in my head all day! (No worries. It’s a lovely one.)
