goodbye, sweet summer

At the risk of sounding prematurely nostalgic, 
I want to share a favorite view along my bike route. 

I love the contrast of the sharp stones with the lush lowland pasture beyond. Today, the cloud line seemed a perfect juxtaposition to the gray stone wall. 
This is huge part of why I moved here: long horizontal views of expansive green open spaces--all just a short bike ride away.

I'll miss these stunning sunny days and brilliant green grasses. Yes, it's nice to have a break from the heat, but for me, summer is the sweetest season.

Meadow meditation

This jackrabbit seemed to sense the eye of my camera and stayed motionless for almost 20 minutes. I wanted some video footage of him hopping and browsing, but he didn't budge until the camera timed out and shut down.

That's a lot of patience, grasshopper.
