Add me to the anxious for Fall list. I dream about cool mornings, a fresh breeze, September fog, and the excitement of changing colors. I'll be glad to say goodbye to humidity and heat induced fatigue.
This summer and the last few have been the worst I can remember: less rain, fewer thunderstorms, and more prolonged sequences of very high temperatures.

JiminMD we have had mid fifties to mid sixties and dry but overcast or foggy. But I can get to summer by going inland just a few miles. Then mid nineties and sunny. I just meant a summer photo thread. I thought rebeccad was doing one for each season?

Ask, and you shall receive. I'm asking, well really begging, for cooler weather, and a nice storm to cool us down. Fortunately, Mother Nature may be generous today. I've just read that we're under a severe T-storm watch. Hoping....Hoping...but please, no power outages.

Before the real melt off. Along the Beef Trail, Bighorn National Forest, March 2019. The little bird phot bombing, 2 o'clock from center was my first Townsend Solitaire of the season. coin flipping machine

rangewalker, you've captured some interesting blends and contrasts in your photo: rugged rock structures on the left sync with rugged yet delicate and artistic tree formations on the right, both of which are anchored in the soft, delicate creek/river, complimented by frothy snow. I love these contrasting and complimentary combinations.

Florida Springtime is not much different, but some of you are in colder climes, so here's a few pics from the garden. autumnmist will enjoy these. I've never quite comprehended the aloe plant. The shrimp plant is in full glory,

I do like those, and thanks for sharing them, zeke. I'm doing some research to identify the plants; they're familiar to me but I can't remember the names, especially of two of the plants in the first two photos. I've grown them, years ago, as indoor plants. I've never seen an aloe in bloom like the one in the third photo. Our aloes grew fat and clustered, and never bloomed, but I think yours is a different variety. Good time to study up on aloes. The shrimp plant is lovely. I enjoy seeing outdoor plants that can't be grown here; it's an opening to another aspect of gardening. And I can literally feel the warmth of the sunshine, on this cold, very windy day which is more reminiscent of Winter than Spring.

amaryllis in pic 1. Uncertain of any names in pic 2. We have about 6 varieties of aloe, and the ones in full sun bloom.

zeke, I was looking at the plant with the "leaf inside a leaf" - it's the one that caught my eye. I remember growing it inside decades ago. In the second photo, the far left plant has blooms that look like Dicentra (Bleeding Heart) but the form and leaves aren't similar. The plant with red leaves is a coleus, and I'm still trying to identify those lovely lilac and sage colored leaves in the plant on the far right. I've seen it in garden catalogues but can't remember the name - good excuse to peruse a catalogue and find something to buy for this season's container plaints. I've got to find out your aloe variety; that would look lovely blended with my ostrich ferns.
