November...

November, n. The eleventh twelfth of a weariness."

~Ambrose Bierce

November

No sun... no moon!
No morn... no noon...
No dawn...
No sky... no earthly view
No distance looking blue
No road... no street... no t'other side way...
No end to any Row...
No indications where the Crescents go...
No top any steeple...
No recognitions of familiar people...
No courtesies for showing 'em...
No knowing 'em!
No traveling at all... no locomotion,
No inkling of the way... no notion...
No Go... by land or ocean...
No mail... no post...
No news from any foreign coast...
No park... no ring... afternoon gentility...
No company... no nobility...
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease, 
No comfortable feel in any member...
No shade, no shine, butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds,
November!

~Thomas Hood

It's early November, and the Bay Area is really just getting started on it's Autumn lights. But the trees should be absolutely stunning the next few weeks with Gold, Crimson, Green, Purple and Brown.

In other words... November!

~Confucius

When I was in Santa Cruz, a couple weeks ago, I was so thankful to be surrounded by all the beauty of the place. It is always fun to visit there, but my favorite part is to just sit on the beach and relax and enjoy the sun. I am thankful for where I live. California is beautiful! And Santa Cruz is definitely one of my favorite places!
