This morning everything was in motion – sun chasing shadows, waves chasing clouds, and tiny shorebirds chasing each other along the edge of the beach. Will summer linger or fade?
September is a changeling – Indian Summer, sudden storms, the first red and gold leaves showing up against the bright greens, cottages closing and boats going into storage just as the Bay really warms up, and always, always, magnificent skies.
I can’t pick my favorites, so here’s another gallery for you to play with if you’re so inclined. (Click to enlarge.)

Thank you kindly, ma’am. Yours are a great way to end mine. One of the many fine features of blogs – we can have a conversation any old time, even when one of us is asleep. (Come to think of it, a lot of my conversations seem to happen that way.)

Gerry, Great cloud photos! Lets see: cumulus,
stratus, cirrus, nimbus. My science teachers would be proud. Now if I could only remember the difference.

Wow – I’m impressed. I bought a cloud book (just like a birding or wildflower guide except with, well, you know, clouds) but I have never taken the time to master its contents. My science teacher left the country for parts unknown years ago, probably out of embarrassment. Anyway, I just dug it out and dusted it off, and guess what! I think we’ve been having a whole lot of stratocumulus “layers and heaps” lately (p. 22). How’s that for sophisticated scientific jargon?
