NATURE'S COLOR SCHEME

SEASONAL SHADES
"Won't you miss the change of seasons?"
We heard that frequently when we announced
our move to the Central California Coast.
We worried about it bit, until our
first fall in California.
Season's change here, we've learned, with an
obvious turn.
Each year provides another pallet of 
fall color.









 Autumn skies resemble those of the mid west
 but with a distinct difference.
 Being a mediterranean climate,
 snow, is no show at our elevation. 

 Even as trees are ablaze in color
 we still have blooms.
and occasionally the Goodyear blimp. Huh?
 In the midwest we saw the blimp only 
around the time of the Indy 500.
See you down the trail.

  1. Beautiful photos, Tom. I especially like #9, with the palm tree providing contrast. Good work!

  2. When I take my glasses off many of these look like marvelous abstract paintings.

  3. Bruce-Thanks. I too was struck by the contrast.
    Stephen-I looked back at the pictures, squinting as a painter friend does
    with his work, and they do take on a kind of modernist look.
