Had to chuckle about Thoreau’s quote “breathe the air.” Our air quality has been so bad this summer with all the wildfires, that sometimes it’s been hard to do that. But it’s improving. And I know he assumes it’s clean air like it probably was in his day.
I have a calendar on my refrigerator and this was in the September quotes shared. It is a pretty Thoreau one! He surely lived among nature and its beauty.
I used to collect monthly poems and quotes and once a month post including international events. It was well received but so much work!
This was during the two first years of blogging using only words to describe and illustrate writing.
Robin, it’s a wonderful quote by Thoreau and glad it’s also on your calendar, which is, of course, fitting. Positive quotes are good sources of affirmation and inspiration.
I love my Old Farmer’s Almanac calendar, Brett! It has gardening tips and talks about the moons. . .
Those old almanacs are packed full of good stuff! 🙂
Yes, they sure are, Brett. 🙂
This Nova Scotian gal living in the Middle East sure does appreciate this blog!!! I’ve always loved that day when the air changes…summer says goodbye and autumn leaves begin to turn…
I love this Thoreau quote, Brett. And the photo! When I saw it, memories of my visit to NS when I was a child came flooding in. Interesting how a photo can elicit feelings and memories! Thank you! Cher xo
We’re in the middle of Indian summer(is that not a proper thing to say any more?) It always gets very cold at the beginning of the month, almost enough to turn on the furnace, but then it bursts forth with warmth, the second crop of raspberries and the leaves turn. Don’t need to leave home to leaf peep!
Your feature photo of Kejimkujik so makes me want to visit again. Fall is definitely in the air here in Vancouver…love it, as long as the rain holds off for a bit.
Thank you so much Brett for liking my blog post I so appreciate it when fellow bloggers enjoy my posts . I will be following yours as well . Thanks again . Happy travels and keep on blogging 😉 !
Love this quote and really anything by Thoreau. Always so full of inspiration. Thank you for sharing and reminding me. Amazing advice to live all of our days to the fullest. We never know if we see another season.
O' Canada 
Love that quote, Brett! Summer ends abruptly in Calgary. On Monday, it was 27c, on Tuesday it was 7c! ♡

Hi, Diana, I heard the same thing from someone who just visited there and they were quite surprised. Best, Brett

Anneli, the times have changed considerably since then!
Unfortunately not all for the better, but we have to make the best of it. Good to be reminded of how it used to be.

Beautiful

Yes, that time is happening now. Quite a contrast to much of the Mideast too! 🙂
Beautiful photo and quote.
Dan, thanks! 🙂

Awesome! 🙂
Savoring the changing of the seasons is one of life’s greatest pleasures.
Liz, a wonderful simple pleasure.
I can’t think of a more perfect quote!
One of my faves about the changnig seasons.

Both gorgeous places to be this time of year!
How wise that quote, and how timely your post…
The seasons march on . . .
I’m not particularly happy to see summer go, but I do love the quote you chose.
🙂
A wonderful image and quotation. The photo has a very “early fall” look to it with the blue/gray sky and tinge of red in the grasses.
Nevertheless, it’s still “summer” here in southern Ontario with temperatures in the mid- to high 20s, and more to come.
No complaints here; fall – then winter – will be here soon enough!
Thanks for posting, Brett.
I hope you enjoy the last days of summer’s glory!
Brett – the combination of picture and quote is exquisite.
Thanks!
I rarely get here, but this blog of your remains fantastic. Tnx.
Thanks! 🙂
