A moment of happiness and fun becomes bittersweet in the impending end of the summer. It transforms into a memory to hold when the leaves and then the snow begin to fall.

The body language of the subjects in this photograph screams. The feeling is one of encompassing loneliness because the feelings that the subjects are experiencing are solitary. They aren't interacting with each other, but one can easily make up any number of scenarios that went on between these two, perhaps just 5 minutes before this photograph was taken.
