Here in Laramie, at 7200 feet of elevation, summer’s end comes early. Already the days grow cooler, and soon we will have our first frost and golden aspen and cottonwoods. You can already smell woodsmoke on the evening air, and folks are covering up their tomato plants or bringing in the ones growing in pots - they’ve only just had ripened fruit. We are enjoying the last days of true summer.
Fruits of the harvest - at last
A busy fellow - summer’s end doesn’t seem to slow him down
Sunny daze - until the first frost
A fiery bowl full of flowers
But summer’s end is nearing
And so it begins…

Leaves of the golden poplar
on a grassy slope
wait for the first snow fall
promise that spring will come
after the long winter. Fran
