'Summer Parked"
There are lots of great things about Dallas, but its beautiful landscape is not one of them. Cityscape? Maybe, but definitely not landscape. With today's prompt being a local landscape, I was at a loss. I finally decided, almost too late in the day, that we do have lots of parks that provide a nice respite from the concrete and glass that covers most of the city.
I took several photos of this expansive park. In the end, I was drawn to this image with the "beyond their prime" flowers in the foreground. As I was looking at it on the computer, I realized that this is because, right now, I feel kind of like those flowers. We have been easing into the school year. Weber has been back at school this entire week for in-service and I had meetings today. Students arrive for both of us on Monday. That will be the true mark that summer is over for us - just like summer is over for those flowers
