Laying Low on Labor Day

Slow motion daze after a busy stretch, and I like it.  Yesterday I took a short steep walk to a place I call the living room, and I made myself at home there for a bit, looking down at the bleached grass of the hills and the fading coastline. Even in the late afternoon heat, there is something about the light that lets us know that another summer is waning.

And this blog post will be mostly pictorial, images of late summer before it slips away.
