    The reflections and golden tones are very beautiful in your photos Terri. October is here and we’ll be in the 80s again starting Friday.

        Yes Terri, we have 80s still after a 1 1/2-day reprieve in the 70s. 🙂 It stays in the 80s until next Thursday I believe. Unbelievable weather!

        I hope so – I went out today and by noon it was 77. Tomorrow it is going to 86, almost shattering a record of 89 from many decades ago.

    These are beautiful water scenes Terri, I could jump straight in 😀 The reflections and colours make for a fabulous last photo.
    I will probably use that song for my The Changing Seasons post 😁

    Thanks for joining in 😀

      Thank you, Brian! The fact someone was still out kayaking tells you how warm it still was. Oct 1 and its 20 degrees cooler!

      Thank you, Graham. After intense summers working as aquatic supervisor this song became my anthem for September. It holds different meanings by the writer but expresses the feelings well
