@veronicalee, your post beautifully captures the subtle shift in seasons! The way you've woven together the later sunrises, earlier sunsets, and persistent heat, against the backdrop of global climate concerns, is truly poignant. And that hopeful note of the cicada's song, heralding the eventual arrival of autumn, resonates deeply. It's a reminder of nature's resilience, even amidst challenges.

I hope you resolve the photo issue soon. I'm sure your photography skills are missed by your followers, including myself. Thank you for sharing these thoughtful observations and beautiful reflections on the changing season with the Steemit community. What are you most looking forward to about autumn, when it finally arrives?
