The calendar says it’s the first day of autumn. The weather always disagrees here in California. But eventually we’ll get some color. Just not quite yet. Sooo … have something from a past October:
October Color, 10.7.21

I will soon be putting together some boxed sets (singles available as well, of course) for the upcoming holidays. As a reminder, I do have cards that work well for autumn also! My pumpkin selection certainly works:








As do these two beautiful roses (aptly named Pumpkin Patch):
I also have fall leaves and some gorgeous tulips that work. Just ask!
Dan is on his way to the Eastern Sierra as I type. Alas, I have students to teach, and simply couldn’t justify taking more time off this year. I will, however, dream of next year and look at last year’s photos.
Autumn in the Eastern Sierra, 10.9.17
There is a tree nearby that is a most amazing blazing color. The homeowner told me what she thought the tree was last year, and if I’m remembering correctly it’s an Autumn Blaze Maple. The name certainly fits.

Fallen Leaves (I), 12.8.15
It’s time again for me to go out and enjoy the colors we get here in my little area. Some say one has to go back east to see them, but we DO actually get color here as well. (That’s not to say that I’m not itching to get back east for the colors sometime, though!) This is just a bit of color from a walk last week. I’m hoping to do more with the camera this coming week.
