Cape Cod is a summer place. Memorial Day weekend kicks off the season with a flood of eager visitors, and then on Labor Day the tourists and summer residents head home, back to school and jobs and real life.
If only they knew that September and October are the best times to be here. The days are warm and nights are cool enough to pull up a cozy comforter. The beaches are nearly empty, and the lines at the ice cream stands are gone. There's a sweetness in the air and a certain slant of light that us year-rounders savor -- our own special secret delight.
The photo below, we are all wanderers on this earth, evokes this same kind of secret delight --can you imagine a whole field and sky that's all yours, to share with a friend on a late summer afternoon?
I've loved seeing your end-of-summer images. Leave a comment and tell us more about what you savor most about this time of year.
Until next time.

I love the feeling of expanse in both of these pictures. So lovely...
Kirstin's word "expanse" fits it perfectly! I love the wide open, empty feel of both of these images.
Such lovely shots. Both of them.

you get your own little love affair with summer now that all the crowds are gone. how lovely. your image makes my heart ache for the ocean. ACHE! love your pair today Lucy, Wanderers photo makes me feel like I'm flying! I love that.
That first capture is my idea of relaxing! Wow. Love it.
It's been soooo hot and dry in GA, that sadly, I can't wait for Fall.

Love your end of summer shots :) I wish I could enjoy the last days of summer near the sea.
Fall really is the best time to be on the Cape. Far less overrun, and this shot depicts it perfectly!
I think your piece of the Atlantic is prettier than mine. gorgeous!! I want to run in that field with my puppies. :)
Such beautiful warm light in both of these photos!
