I heard that some regions are quite hot at present and maybe in the future few days.

Sunset glow from the swirls and ripples

[Crescent Over Lotus Pond]

A glittering crescent moon shines
Over that pond where we wine
A hundred cicadas cry loudly
For the autumn melancholy
Dumb ducks swim quieter
Without seeing the lotus flower
That is proud and charming
But sorrows in the insipid evening
.
The gentle pond shakes ripples
That make the night rustle
But passersby always hustle
Ignoring all chances to nestle
The moon, full and waning,
Writes a sign of days passing
Our emotion, full and ebbing,
Will circle our warm dreaming
.

In the English world, we have this ---
You look blue. 抑郁/
You are in the pink. 气色好 /
You are yellow. 胆小/
You are green. 没经验.菜鸟.

But, when talking about nature or the plants, we could think differently. Anyway, North follows roughly the traditional 24 seasonal marks, so called "solar terms", though we've talked about a lot and experienced a lot of the climate anomaly this year. And we are greeting the term of White Dew that marks tomorrow.

Thus, we won't be surprised at the start of a golden yellow pleasure in these days. That justifies the pictures posted here and shot this morning. And it turns out to be even an interpretation of "Autumn Flirting" if you don't link yellow to cowardness.

Autumn keeps flirting, but I'm just a bit excited. Even she is a ten, you must take it from me --- Never be too excited!

北京入秋这么早么？现在我沈都还没有真正入秋。

Sorry to hear the landfall of Super Typhoon Yagi (摩羯) this late afternoon at a peak speed of 62m/s or 220 km/h. It is wreaking havoc on the Hainan Island. Wish everyone be fine.
