“The Indian Summer of life should be a little sunny and a little sad, like the season, and infinite in wealth and depth of tone, but never hustled.”
Henry Adams

Transition.
A 30 degree night, gives way to the first frost of the season, which gives way to rain, which gives way to balmy spring-like warmth, giving way to this Indian Summer.
According to the Farmer’s Almanac a true Indian Summer only happens between St Martin’s day– November 11th to November 20th. If All Saint’s day (November 1st) brings cold, followed by a drastic warm up between St Martin’s day and the 20th of November then we have a true Indian Summer.
This week’s warmth is just a little early for the official Indian Summer, but warm it is…..this butterfly has no idea it’s almost November.
Farewell, thou latter spring; farewell, All-hallown summer!”
Shakespeare’s Henry IV

Beautiful Shot.
Thank you Mona–amazing what I could capture through the laundry room window while ironing–who knew 🙂
Great job!
I agree, what a breathtaking photograph. As you approach winter here in Australia we are ready to welcome the warmer weather of Summer. What country do you live in? Love Jenna
Hi Jenna–I’m here in the US, in Georgia. Our weather is certainly a roller coaster—last weekend it felt like winter, the past couple of days..summer. Keeps everyone sick or battling allergies 🙂
