Autumn arrives (3 September 2026)

The signs of autumn have been piling up for weeks, and now we've had a day with proper rain.  It's here!

The same neighbor who had the spaceship-beaming-up-a-cow for Halloween has a turkey on a motorcycle for Thanksgiving!

Ideal weather continued, and I felt like the world was especially and unusually beautiful.  Also, despite having had to work on Saturday, I felt like I was on a proper vacation.

It was hot, I worked hard to stay hydrated, and also: it is NOVEMBER.

 It is late November, but it got up into the 50s, and was a visually glorious day.

Autumn colors

The fact that it is turning red at a different speed in different parts of the tree makes it work for me. 

Glowing morning

Oh, how I love this time of year... 

Lovely Ginkgo along Mission Creek (30 December)

 Not all of the gingkos in this park were fully gold, but this one is!

Wet autumn leaves, windy day

Autumn on my mind

Autumn manifests in subtle and lovely ways here in San Francisco...

Autumn in tomatoes

It's better than looking for autumn colors in the many wildfires raging in my state.
