So Long, Summer

Such abundant beauty! It really does look like a painting--I think--like an Impressionistic painting.
I have something in common with the founder of impressionism: cataracts. My left eye (used for manual focusing through a viewfinder) has been refurbished with a new lens; the right will be done next year. 
May your photographic skills continue to thrive!
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
