There is a certain wonderful beauty to the days that fall right before the seasons change hands, rolling from one well defined chapter of the year into the next. Elements of the first clinging on for dear life, while signs of the second come barrelling into town with the energy and enthusiasm of a chipper young puppy (like the ultra darling labs pictured above!).
At this very moment we stand on the crest of autumn, my very favourite time of the year, yet are also getting ready to wave good-bye to summer, another season that I rather adore.
As with so many things in life, the age old expression that all good things must come to an end rings true for each quarter of the year, too. So while this leap from sun drenched summer to enchantingly colourful fall can bring a subtle sense of melancholy with it (assuming you're a fan of both seasons), there is also a sweet fondness to the period as well.
We can reminisce about the high points of summer, plan for its return next June, and at the same time begin eagerly diving head first into the abundant array of reasons why autumn is a joy for all five of the senses.
Today's Flickr images speak to these days of early and mid September, as fall gets ever closer, while still embracing some of summer's best points for the short time longer that they're here, as the endearing loveliness of these magical middle ground days surrounds us and the world gets ready to hop back into autumn once more.
