Sunrise

too big for only one picture

I'd not been up long today when I noticed the air was pink! A sunrise so vivid I had to step out into the cold to take pictures.


This photographer would like to remain anonymous

The last hold-outs -- all three of them!

Those who went before

We still have some trees with leaves here -- green ones, even. On Sunday, tho, the Mulberry's dropped their big, green leaves en masse so truly fall is here. Some leaves are more stubborn than others, I guess.

Dan


Dan loves to take pictures with my camera. Lately his favorite subject is our dog, Lia. She's very fond of Dan, tho in truth, she's hopelessly devoted to me. Her most recent evidence of this devotion is that she climbed thru the bathroom window -- after using her shoulders to push it open (scratching the frame with the bolt lock) the 10 inches necessary for her to squeeze thru. And once she's thru the un-screened window, she has to make her way down an 8" deep ledge, over a cafe table and onto the rocks below, avoiding the pinon tree. All so she can be standing in driveway to greet me when I drive up! I'm pretty sure I've never been the object of such adoration before now.

El Dia De Los Muertos

We saw the El Dia De Los Muertos celebration and parade today in the South Valley, and it was a lot of fun.

This is my favorite float. You can't see it here, and I didn't get another shot, but the figure is two-sided with a sad face on the other side. She rotated with the movement of the wagon. It's just beautiful!


Before the parade, the boys discovered a playground toy that was the most fun -- especially for Andy who loves to spin! It's a seat on a pole that rotates as you shift your weight. Both boys enjoyed it, but Andy was picking up g-force at his speed!


Here's Dan on it, too. You'll notice he wore his very best clothes to honor the dead....
