this is the flatiron building, one of toronto's famous landmarks, reflected on a puddle. a tiny leaf landed on the puddle as i pressed the shutter and i caught that ripple in the middle of the shot. can you see the beautiful blue sky? it is quite strange to be looking at the sky from the ground.
it was a perfect day in toronto today. the sun shone brightly but the temperature was decent, with a breeze as light as baby's kiss. i sat around at the park at lunch, something i very rarely do because i like to keep moving. when i'm just sitting around, i feel like i'm wasting time. i feel as if my muscles are going to atrophy and then it'll creep up my bones and my brains until i wouldn't be able to move completely.
a friend, long gone, told me once: stop and smell the roses. i did, but there was a bug in the flower and it went up my nostril and i suffered a really bad case of sinusitis afterwards. darn it!
what am i getting at? nothing really, just reminiscing what happened this summer, what i would remember, what i would regret. i have never been one to regret a season; i've always looked forward to the cold weather. but this summer is different. there's something about it that tells me i lost something and i'm not even aware of it. i know i lost my bracelet, but it's only material. it can be replaced, and i have other ones.
do you see the leaves on the puddle? pretty soon there will be no leaves on the trees, and they won't be on the ground either for they would be swept clean by the city workers. with the advent of cold and snow, this puddle won't be this clear, it would be muddy, slushy, dirty.
everything is easy in the summer. i will miss that.

thank you, MB.
@indyost - thank you, tony; much appreciated.
The heat this summer was so intense that I will definitely not miss that part of this summer.
