When I made this photograph, the ambient temperature was in the mid 90's, but it felt a bit hotter because of the humidity. Although the weather has yet to change, the neighborhood children are headed back to school this week to start their 'Fall' semester. 'Fall', if I remember correctly, used to refer to the fact that the leaves were starting to change colors and fall off the trees. Perhaps now it relates to our garden flowers being roasted by the afternoon sun and starting to fall over as August moves toward September. I suppose I need to reset my internal clock to reflect the new weather patterns, and I suppose the children already have.
