Round Robin Photo Challenge...The End of Summer

It is time or another Round Robin Photo Challenge. Seems like it has been forever since I was posting the last shots for the challenge. Today Janet who can be found at Fond of Snape, would like for us to take pictures of the End of Summer. She gave lots of suggestions and I thought of a few of my own...Michael's asthma and allergies get worse, Sarah is excited about school, Mark starts to gear up for Christmas, the weather starts getting cooler, we have more campfires, I wear heavy socks, the school bus drivers take practice runs, shorts get packed away, I start drinking hot tea instead of iced tea, football practice starts, you can leave the windows open and feel a cool breeze...

I have been able to share some pretty incredible pictures of flowers from our yard this summer. I took a walk around tonight to remember all the vivid colors and wonderful smells and these are what I found...I guess summer is really over.

Hi Wammy :)

So sad when the flowers finish the season. :( But is certainly the most striking part isn't it. The leaves take over all the glory now. :)It's never stops amazing me. Good job!

Yep those photos do say that summer is over! You asked about how to do the collages on my blog. They are all done with a picasa program that came with my computer. Their latest test version #3 is a lot of fun and has more options for shapes and lettering etc...
They all look like they need a long nap..but it looks like they have bloomed their hearts out for ya!:)
Nicely done! It's funny how even faded flowers like these can make for great pictures. I especially like the black-eyed Susan.
