I loved your whole article, including the photos. This line about how each month has a different energy really captured me:
"This month burns bright. It isn’t the slow and meandering of July, when you are sloppy and tired with heat. Or the anticipatory energy of June, with sometimes still cool days and plans for the summer ahead of you. August is the reminder, when summer reaches its zenith. Do what you meant to do before we go to the next part."

Beautiful writing and reflection.
The starting-with-a-definition thing made me laugh. I read somewhere recently that “August is the Sunday of summer,” and that feels so right.
