The Last Leaves of Fall

As December begins, we bid adieu to
 the glorious colours of autumn.

Wild turkeys on Thanksgiving Day.

 Vineyards preparing for their long winter's nap.

All these shots from Sebastopol,
about an hour north of San Francisco.

Autumn Splendor

Autumn colour,

rusty leaves.

Here's a couple of turkeys that survived the holiday.

A pre-Christmas view of red and green.

Favourite Time of Year

Autumn has always spoken to me,

School beginning, holidays coming,

splashes of vivid colour, cool evenings, sunny afternoons.

And blue, blue skies.

Suitcase Saturday - Spring!

Yellow Buttercup

 Usually when I think of vintage suitcases

 I think rich browns, lovely sepia,
and maybe a matte black or two.

 I can't guarantee that their fragrance is quite as sweet,

But the luscious pinks, blues and yellows

 make me want to pack one and travel down a springtime lane!

Scarecrow Time!

 For the last three years Cambria has been scarecrow territory every October.  There are more every year and last count shows over 350 for this year, not bad for a town of only 6,000.  Different groups, organizations and individuals sponsor and create them and they are everywhere.

In front of businesses, along Hwy 1, on bridges and at the lighthouse lens.  These two are my personal favourites - caught by the photographic lens of Destiny Carter.

 Here's a few more! 

Here's Autumn!

My favourite time of year -

It's all about the colour!
