Beautiful image paired with a fun quote. It does feel like fall already, doesn’t it? This was one short summer. But I love this kind of cool, crisp weather.
I love sunflowers, this is the second year in a row ours didn’t grow. But please don’t tell me summer is over already, I’m not prepared for autumn and the coming of winter.

Haiku for sunflower
About a decade ago, I wrote Haiku themed by sunflower. Every summer the flowers grow in the field as singing the praise of dazzling youth’s days. Reversely I am declining the late days of the life. But still now my research is never gotten at least the smallest level achievement. French poet ever sang, ” So long, the short summer light.” Really summer goes by quicker than you can say it.
Himawari no
Yichinichi ten ni
Chikazukeri
Here the sunflower
comes close to heaven
for one day’s growth

They are awesome if you look close!
What a wonderful little poem! I love it…and that photo is just exceptional! What a beautiful sunflower!
Great shot, and the quote is perfect with it.
I know many love this cooler weather–and I do love Fall, but I’m not ready to leave Summer behind yet!
