Reflections on a Summer Gone

There are still a few clematis blooms in the garden but by and large they are well past their best on mostly reduced to this.The summer may be gone but autumn hasn't really kicked in as yet. Maybe we will have a bit of colour to look forward to yet.
I am posting this a little earlier than usual today as I am going to be busy this evening. I have been contracted to do the photography for three functions dealing with the launch of the new "Leader" programme of European money for local community projects. We begin tonight with the press launch so I may be a little late getting back home. Hopefully I will have time for some commenting as the event starts at 7pm and shouldn't keep me occupied all night.
