I walked out of my apartment this afternoon to go to work and stopped. For the first time all summer, there was silence. It was a little shocking to be honest, as this must have been the locust year. All season there's been noise, no matter the hour, of these insects loudly proclaiming their presence. I'm not complaining - it's the sound of summer. But to have it stopped so suddenly, I guess you never really know what you have till its gone.
Unfortunately the silence outside has no comparable resonance in my life right now. There are meetings at work, conference calls, two months worth of activity planning, shopping and packing and laundry, new youth groups to start and familiar ones with which to reacquaint myself. Even though the summer might not have been all I wanted it to be, it was wonderful and I'm going to miss the weather, the lazy pace of life.
So, to commemorate Summer 2011, some cell phone photos for your viewing pleasure.
