Autumn In Nevada City

October gave a party;

The leaves by hundreds came...

The Chestnuts, Oaks and Maples

And leaves of every name.The sunshine spread a carpet,

And everything was grand,

Miss weather led the dancing,

Professor Wind the band." 

~George Cooper 

October's Party

This year, Alan and I discovered the beautiful towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City, California. They are both autumn paradises to be sure, and I was grateful to have discovered them, not only for their beauty, but also for the new destination of little antique shops and cafes. I hope to see more of both towns, but Nevada City in particular. It had a nice vibe. You know how quaint little towns can be, small but welcoming with a "glad to meet you" friendliness that isn't off putting. That is the way Nevada City seemed to me. Hopefully we can head back there in a couple weeks, and this time really get to know the place through it's coffee shops and boutiques. With a little luck, there might still be an autumn leaf or two to photograph. That would be nice. That would make my heart happy. But on this day it was all about the color of the leaves, tomorrow I will find happiness in the architecture.

October 25th, 2019 was so beautiful.
