"It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished,

 unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets."

This is how the day begins. How will it end? I'll get back to you!

Autumn Leaf Of The Day #38

Seasons And Transitions

 "Speaking of happiness, those distinctive moments are found outdoors... in the autumn and winter and always in the mountains where people are few, wildlife is abundant and there is peace in the quiet."

~Donna Lynn Hope

Autumn is not giving up it's gold and russet without a fight, but I have a feeling, winter isn't going to give autumn one bit of extra time as far as the temperatures go! We have had some really warm and dry winters, but we have already gotten a sizable amount of snow this year in the Sierra. 18 inches in the last couple days at Donner Summit alone! It's okay. I enjoy it when the seasons duke it out during the transition, and no two seasons do it as beautifully as Autumn and Winter. I am a happy girl!

"When I am out and it is autumn, 

my thank you's to the universe seem infinite."

~Darnell Lamont Walker

Last week, Alan and I took a ride to beautiful, Placerville, California. It's not all that far north, but the difference in terrain is quite striking! For instance, Placerville usually gets at least a small amount of snow each year, but I don't think it has ever snowed in Stockton. It's pretty mild there, in terms of weather, but sometimes, however, it turns into a true winter wonderland! I hope to be able to do some winter photos in the area this coming winter, because I really need to broaden my horizons when it comes to my photographs! I did a few winter photos just across the road in the town of Camino, right at the end of the winter, earlier this year, and to my happiness, there were even a few autumn leaves, still hanging from the trees! It always fills me with joy to come across a little bit of autumn, especially in deep winter! It makes waiting for my favorite season to come around again, a little more bearable!

The road to Placerville...

And earlier this year...
