The End is Near...

Don't worry, this is not a post about the Apocolypse, just a quick entry about my least favourite time of year: the transition of Summer to Autumn.

I do enjoy Autumn: the beautiful colours of the trees, the crisp, clear days; but I always find it hard to say goodbye by to the hot weather and the long days. Lately I have noticed the sun setting much earlier - it is now dark by 8:30 and the slowly changing colour of the leaves, and the first leaves dropping to the ground.

Of course, this is Vancouver, and September is often a beautiful, warm month. So I may still be able to squeeze out a week or two more of summer weather, even though it appears to have disappeared this week.

One thing about the end of this Summer is, that a week after the Vernal Equinox, I am taking off for Hawaii... it will be a shock to the system, however, when I return in mid-October when in Autumn is in full swing.
