As promised yesterday, here are some more splashes of color to remind us that yes, autumn does occur. What we get in Bakersfield comes very late, almost into winter. I took these photos while visiting my daughter, her husband and her children in Colorado. Most – well, all really – were quick photos taken as we were sightseeing with three children under 5! Nonetheless, quick or not, it’s hard to go wrong in Colorado.

Annabelle and I snuck some time alone and went to buy pumpkins. I don’t know what could be cuter than this.

Colorado is a little like heaven. We were on our way to Ouray.


This next photo is from Domaine Alfredo, a winery in the Edna Valley near Pismo. Most of the leaves were off the vines, but wow! Not these.

Lastly, a sunflower that is saying goodbye to summer.

I’ll be back Monday, if not sooner. Now, I’m turning my attention to the Dodgers and Phillies. Rooting for the Dogs of course!
