Off Duty
The lifeguard stands are empty and sadly the carefree days of summer break are all but gone. The cool nights of September are here. Back to school shopping is being done, a task the kids groan about and yet there is a little excitement evident on their faces when we hit the stores as well. The fall schedules are in order and it's time to get down to business. By the end of this week my house will be very quiet between 7AM and 3:30PM. I will miss them being home.
Russell will be a Senior this year. Jon a freshman. Big years for both. This will be a year full of new things, changes, and challenges as they both face opposite ends of the high school spectrum.
They are growing up so fast it's taken me by surprise. My boys are becoming fine young men right before my eyes and I am very proud of them.

I know its trite but the kids do grow up so fast.
and now my granddaughter is going to be a teenager next month. How did that happen??
I love your picture of the end of summer. Its a story in one picture.
Very moody picture but perfect for your words.
My son is 14 and indeed he is growing up too fast....
l like the contrast and the feeling of abandonment with this one.
It may sound silly but my eldest son is not quite two and a half....even he seems to be growing up too fast!
Beautiful shot.and it's nice to read the text attached. Yes seasons change and people grow older.
Interesting shot...I like the harshness of it, and the title fits really well.
so desolate and sad...summer is finally gone...
That's something absolutely different from your other photos, and i like it too :) Its quite sharp too, that detail loss i was talking about was caused by high ISO for sure ;)
Yep. The end of summer. I love it! :-) Prices go down at the beach. The tourists are at home and the beach is mine, all mine! ;-)
What a original composition of the end of summer, well done!
Bonjour,
Nice tone, good composition..Bravo!
well framed shot Laurie.
you got the perfect shot to capture the end of summer Laurie! School season is definitely back.
A nostalgic mood here...
Great shot Laurie. And thanks for your continued feedback and encouragement at my site. It's greatly appreciated! Have a great week.
beautiful composition Laurie!
That is certainly "Off Duty" ;)
To answer your question, Downtown Disney is a free admission place filled with specialty shops and places to eat as well as an AMC theater. You'll also find plenty of Disney related merchandise there as well of course. It's one of my favorite places to go with friends or just to photograph by myself, but it's always much better being there with friends.
It's just another part of "Resort Disney", the Mouse's empire ;)
Nice tones, well composed and very well written.
Beautiful photo Laurie, a nostalgic atmosphere to sad...
Very sweet, the end of summer..we could hear the sea...Beautiful.
