The end of summer here is always bittersweet. There is a sense of relief, that the tourists have gone and that the traffic has slowed and that soon the suffocating heat will subside and we will still have two months of beautiful weather and warm water…but every year it hits us all with a bit of a shock. People get a little depressed, maybe even a little ill. After all the craziness of summer, it’s hard to slow down and contemplate the coming off-season. Some people will move away, or leave for the season. Some relationships will end, and new ones will begin. And we’ll all be making less money. But soon enough the momentum of autumn kicks in, the hurricanes start pumping surf and there are weddings, wine festivals, and Halloween parties look forward to. The sky gets crisp and colorful, the hoodies and Ugg boots come out, the oysters get cheap and plentiful, and we all remember why we live here.

Anyway, here are a few recent photos…
