The End of Summer
(a poem by Peter J. Gorham)

Turn and take the summer with you to its fall.
Take away its outlook and its need-
the message of the sun at hilltop-
and hand it to the courier, who waits
to run the valleys and the shade
and hand it in good season
to its heir.

It has blessed you, truly once again
but summer goes its way, it must,
and craggy hands of autumn
seduce you fresh with promises
filled in blinding summer light,
unnoticed, not ahead.
Ahead lies cold incrimination
that faults you yet again
for missing twice the splendour.

Do not rush estival’s cool end,
for behind her is the icy breath of winter.
Hold her hot against your form
and let her breathe her lovefire on you
and make you sweat
beneath her crushing heat.
Hold her as you know
that she’ll be gone soon,
and in her place will be the snow.

Hi Danilo

Wonderful warm amber colours with good sharpness & dof on the bee. The darker shadowed areas add good graphism. Superb contrast. Tfs!

Hello Danilo,
I am not ready for the end of summer.
I love the infused colour of the coneflowers and lighting.
Blurred BG is very effectivr.
Nice job, Danilo!

Danilo, Wonderful shot you have posted here. I love the DOF you chose to bring the focus right to the center of the flower and bee. Great detail of the pollen on the bees legs, something I would be reluctant to get too close to myself.
TFS - Cheers,
Dianne

Your picture is really a celebration, if you want of the end of summer, regardless of the fact you took it in the mid of it. Excellent light, beautiful compo and razor sharp.

Olá Danilo,
I had read your comment about the post from Tibig and I consider how is relevant the coincidence of choice from two great photographers.
Compare the style and manierisms from both is for us great uitility.
Very nice presentation.
Best wishes,
raimundo

Hi Danilo,
Apparently I missed this posting, sorry.
Great capture, excellent sharpness and the overwhelming yellow creates a superb impression. Really an attractive picture my friend!
Hans

Wow Danilo! This is another beauty!
I've been chasing butterflies and bees in Oglebay - no success so far! It really takes a lot of patience - that I learnt!

Beautiful capture, Danilo.
Cheerios,
Esther

Hello Danilo, a fine tribute to summer with the bright yellow reminiscent of the sunshine.
The single flower is beautifully sharp and the bee is wonderfully clear with its pollen dusted body.
Thank you for the poem, thought provoking.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hello Danilo!

Good bee capture!
Perfect focus!

HI Danilo
Fall is beautiful with all its vivid colors, but also sad as we watch everything go to sleep.
A lovely capture of the rubdekia, the bee is so sharp you can almost see through it.

Once again a wonderful work, Danilo. Superb colour and detail and what a great time I would have had with this one to remove the background saturation. The detail is so good that I can see a tiny cob web on one of the petals. Love Mr. Bee and his great stance . Once again really super work.
Warmest Regards
Wanda

Waw ! Wonderful colours with sharp details in harmony with the blurred background. Very well done !
Greetings
