October

October is not the same around the globe. Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere may get the cooler temperatures and change of color, seeing the beauty of the yellow, red, or orange. And then there are others where the rainy season ends and the dry season begins.

There is something incredibly nostalgic and significant about the annual cascade of Autumn leaves – Joe. L. Wheeler

You ought to know that October is the first Spring month. – Karel Capek

Here’s to October!

Autumn exists

October in the Pacific Northwest has seen stunning color this year.

We’ve seen rain, wind and also a 70 degree fall day.

A leisurely stroll, getting steps in

Feeling the warm breeze, seeing the trees move with the wind

Hearing the crisp leaves move along the road

Autumn exists.

Happy 1st Day of Fall 2015
