Adventures in the land of Autumn

When I was little my family went on a long adventure to Nevada City to see the Fall foliage, it did not go over well at the time...it seemed like it took forever (3 hours which is like forever to a kid) to see some colorful leaves, puleeeze! But now that I'm older (for sure) and wiser (maybe not) it's one of my favorite things to do this time of year. Here are some pics in all the autumn-y glory!!

Enjoy the silence...

"Here I came to the very edge
where nothing at all needs saying,
everything is absorbed through weather and the sea,
and the moon swam back,
its rays all silvered,
and time and again the darkness would be broken
by the crash of a wave,
and every day on the balcony of the sea,
wings open, fire is born,
and everything is blue again like morning. "
— Pablo Neruda

People take their same old lives wherever they go. No place is perfect enough to strip you of that.

The moon is always jealous of the heat of the day, just as the sun always longs for something dark and deep
