The End of Summer

Here's the last in my "Essence of Summertime" series. This one is a little more standard than the others. Like the campfire picture, it was taken at Worlds End State Park on a beautiful, warm summer day. We were on top of the mountain about to see a pigeon racing demonstration and I thought the view of the valley was pretty. Turns out I was right.

We went out and did some Christmas shopping this evening. The crowds were certainly manageable where we were, if not nonexistant. Not a problem as far as I'm concerned. The weather is wintry, there's a thick layer of snow on the ground, the roads are mostly clear, and everything is right with the world. Merry Christmas.

How's my reader doing today?
