My heart never seems to be content with the short autumns here in the west. If I'm lucky, the colorful leaves and mild weather will last 3 or 4 weeks but commonly, an early snow storm knocks all of the leaves off of the trees during the second week of the season. So here I am, already nostalgic for fall and it is only November. Enjoy taking a look at the few quiet moments I spent surrounded by radiant color!
