summer's last hurrah!

Hubby and I moseyed-on-down to the college gardens tonight prepping for a photo shoot this week - checking lighting conditions because the sun is setting earlier and earlier every day. Despite the cool nights the gardens were still spectacular - this is what we saw:



When I was a young girl we had these (below) growing around our home - I didn't know that they grew in Idaho - I was so excited because I loved them and played with them all the time. Think I'll plant some around our home -










"FLYING SOUTH" - if you look into the sky, you'll see this very thing going on - duck and geese flying south. Can I go?










I'm getting a little sad that this will soon be laying under several feet of snow. Drats!
