I dedicate this post to my blogging friend over at The Wanderer, who lives in Buenos Aires, and for whom autumn is beginning!

Wearing shorts . . .

New life emerging . . .

Bradford pear trees blooming . . .

Gorgeous white blooms (complete with bees!) . . . .

Sidewalk chalk (I call this “Artist With Self-Portait”) . . . .

Green grass dotted with dandelions and about ready to be cut . . . .

And one lone tree still clinging to the bareness of winter.
