It's the first day of autumn ...
... but these are yesterday's pictures ...
... made on the last day of summer ...
... in the little muddy lagoon, I often visit in all seasons ...
... because is always filled with interesting details ...
... both, from the land ...
... and the sea ...
... it was the end of summer ...
... and the sunlight was gorgeous ...
... appropriately autumnal ...
... accentuating the colors of the upcoming season ...
... the reds ... the browns ...
... the yellow of this fallen leaf, sailing slowly through the shallows ...
... there is a self-seeding apple tree in this lagoon ...
... that grows very near to the sea ...
... half of its branches filled with apples, hang above the water ...
... and these days ... you can see mature fruits floating in the sea ...
... or laying in the mud and sand ...
... along with ...
... the various ...
... empty shells ...
... and other things from the sea ...
... while many crabs ...
... are crawling all over the place ...
... when they saw me coming, some of them were trying to hide behind dead leaves ...
... and now ...
... with some more ...
... shells ...
... in the soft yellow light ...
... it's time ...
... to slowly ...
... end the summer ...
... and this post ...
... that's it ...
... the summer is over ...
... but the SUMER ADVENTURES series of posts will continue ... I made a lot of photographs during the summer :) and I don't feel patient enough for waiting the next year to publish them here.
That's it for today ... have a good day ... or night ... wherever on the planet you are.
( As always in these posts on Steemit, the photographs are my work )
