It was another warm day, so this photographer probably didn’t complain too much when a rogue wave soaked her boots and pant legs as she was taking pictures.

Although autumn is approaching, today was a warm day and perfect for a walk along a beach and listen to the gentle lapping of the waves.

As summer fades into autumn, a few patches of fireweed still had some blossoms, which is good as some people believe when the last blooms open on the top of the stalks, summer is over and I’m not ready for winter yet. The blooms begin to open from the bottom and since the fruit matures quickly, the fruit, blossoms and buds can appear at the same time on the same plant.

As the Labor Day holiday winds down, today might be the last walk on the beach for some as summer vacations fade out until next year.

The 4th of July holiday normally has a fireworks display, but for some people, nature provided its own sky light display with the Aurora Borealis last night for this Labor Day weekend.

Earlier this week, the winds were in the right direction for bird migration and an estimated 8.1 million birds cross over my county in one night. And while those birds flying at an average of 46 mph at 2,700 feet were from farther north, my summer birds are leaving too. And since I didn’t scare away my green heron out of my pond when I mowed this week, the tadpoles may be safe from the hungry heron if it migrated south. One afternoon, I watched the green heron snatch a dozen tadpoles so I don’t know if it was going to feed some young chicks or it was just a big snack getting ready for the migration.

Meteorological fall starts today, but some trees were turning autumn colors in August and not waiting for the meteorological or astronomical autumn season.

It was interesting watching two small dogs at the beach last week. One dog didn’t go near the water and didn’t like the sand much either as it was queen like and didn’t want to get dirty. The other dog enjoyed the beach experience and loved the water as it went in even without a stick to retrieve.

The summer may be winding down, but there are still some nice days to enjoy a day at a beach listening and watching some small waves rolling in as they crash against the rocks.
