Saturday September 22^nd was the autumnal equinox. The week preceding this first day of fall was unlike the pre-autumnal weeks to which I’ve grown accustom. Minnesota is known for its temperate weather where summer transitions to winter, and fall is a wish that rarely comes true. Bracing for the worst, this harvest season seems to be more summer than winter. Warm winds and dry air continue to bathe the parched landscape, and fall is hiding somewhere in the shadows. I don’t object to this extension of summer, but I can’t help wonder if our departure from the norm is a harbinger of the future.

This was our first trip with the pop-up since the blowout, and we really wanted to get back on that "horse" again. Because time management's not my strength, photography has been relegated to brief opportunistic moments. Long days and endless hours devoted to motivating the unmotivated has finally taken its toll. So, with the need to recharge my drained batteries, we pointed the Jeep north a began our search for the ephemeral.

Requiem for a Summer

As is customary with the onset of Fall, I mourn the summer that was.

A biologist who teaches to inspire and to survive, this man's passion resides out of doors with the harmony in nature. Work is what I do so I can do what I want; gone is the freedom that feeds my creative eye.

It was a frosty morning with a cool breeze that shakes leaves. The wind blew past much like the time wasted in this summer last.
