The beach is a deserted place today. The kids are back in school, the summer residents are closing their homes, there's a chill in the air. The shelves in the grocery store are being stocked with Halloween candy. One season is about to end and another begin. The cycle continues. So many good times were had and will be remembered again and again. The chairs await next summer's occupants, it's really not that far off you know. Memories to be made and told and retold. Again and again.

RUSHING INTO FALL

Nice view of the deserted beach, and your words are perfectly descriptive of the between-seasons mood.
ReplyDeleteI like this!!
ReplyDeleteIt is simple, it is fun and it is colorful....
It`s like I can hear the informatiom; "Line up and wait"..
Have a nice day!:-)
Neat shot and excellent commentary. I don't want to lose Summer but Fall is a wonderful season too. MB
ReplyDeleteI would love to seat there looking the fabulous view and think about the cycle of life, maybe write some lines about and of course take good pictures from this place!
ReplyDeleteCool post!Can you book the white chair for me please? :)

...and I go on vacation until early October, making it officially autumn.
ReplyDeleteAh, to not have to work at this time of year...priceless!
ReplyDeleteHold one of the chairs until next summer for me.
ReplyDeletethose chairs are definitely eye-catching!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favourite time of year.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot of an end-of-season beach...I like the chairs' colors. There's a chill in the air here, too. Gotta get out my woolies soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a colorful little row of chairs! I wish there was a chill in the air here. It's supposed to be 93 degrees today.
ReplyDeleteVery nice B Squared. Excellent photo and commentary!
ReplyDeleteSo true. Hope the chairs don't get lonely before next year.
ReplyDeleteThis one photo does speak volumes about the end of one set of memories and the beginning of the next. Love the colors and composition. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteNice capture.
ReplyDeleteMy kid had his first day of school, but he is already back.
It was a half day.
ReplyDeleteWhy am I thinking of Visconti's Death in Venice?
ReplyDeleteI always hate to see sumer drawing to a close.
ReplyDeleteToday really was different from yesterday wasn't it? Mmmmm. Quiet! ;-)
ReplyDeleteNice prose I identify with. Yes, I agree, (over-the-top) Death in Venice was moving, and with the music unforgetable
ReplyDeleteI love the chairs and the color and the whole scene. Chill in the air? B2 you'd better stay a while longer. There ain't no chill here or down your way either, trust moi. Enjoy!

I'd love being in one of those chairs with the beach all to myself - that and a good book and a cold drink. :)
ReplyDeleteCarletta’s Captures.
Love the colorful chairs along the beach. I think summer is a state of mind and there's still plenty of summer fun to be had before the snow. ;)
ReplyDeleteExcellent post and picture! The next summer will surely come. Great commentary as well!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! This summer went by way too fast.
