Yellow and Red Firewheel Wildflowers, Nova Scotia

“We should enjoy this summer, flower by flower, as if it were to be the last one we’ll see.”

  1. Your timing for this post is impeccable. Just yesterday, I noted the subtle shift in the landscape and the air that tells me summer is inexorably on the wane. My husband and I are off to Beaver Brook Falls today!

  2. As we hunker underneath the layer of smoke and ash in the air above Napa Valley, drifting in from the fires raging in Redding and Mendocino County — and a smaller one much closer, near Lake Berryessa — this post takes on complex layers of meaning, well worth a think.

  3. Beautiful picture, and what an appropriate quote. These firewheel wildflowers are my favorite, but I never knew what they were called before. The name is very appropriate!

  4. Nice photo. I too am enjoying the Canadian summer although I thought Kamloops at 39 degrees was a bit much this afternoon! (Our overnight stop on the Rocky Mountaineer.)
