but, I have just started....as another year of  the divine beauty unfolds...my perspectives...

Yellowing grass........

Even groundcover is changing color..

Season: Autumn is in the air!! Welcome changes.....

Fall is definitely in the air...mercury has dropped 20 degree F...sun is sinking earlier..cotton woods and sycamores are turning yellow..pampas grass by the San Diego river are pretty with the plumes...our neighbors are adorning their doors with lovely wreathes and Halloween decors..pumpkin patches are opening..and yes, we are just back from apple picking...

Autumn is my favorite of all seasons! So is this picture taken in Sequoia National Park.....

The background is far from dull...and we got to stand under a bunch of mistletoes....

As autumn is progressing, subtle and striking changes are being felt....and its appealing to the senses!!

 The big balls of mistletoes peeping from the senescent foliage...

Callery pears are stunning with red and orange leaves..

Pretty Callery pear foliage........

Sycamore crown is rust-colored...

Pumpkins are ripening...

Pyracantha berries are blazing ...

Myriad migratory birds are arriving to the local marsh and lakes...
