Fall...Really?

I know it's Fall!  The calendar says November, we "fell-back" to Standard Time, the kids visited the pumpkin patch and went trick or treating.  But it is a brilliant, sunny 82 degrees outside so think I'll take you for a picturesque walk through the neighborhood.

We stopped in Half Moon Bay for a wonderful daughter-cooked prime rib dinner to celebrate our October birthdays...she does the best!  A trip to Farmer John's Pumpkin Patch was a perfect opportunity to snap some family fotos:

Then on to Petaluma and our home base.  We got to man the door and hand out candy while Christina went trick or treating on Halloween:


Christina (on rt.), with friend Zoey, is a Warrior Princess!


Ahhh...we're home!

Your shots of a CA fall are fabulous - I especially like the fallen leaves and the wetlands. Those children are very cute!

Beautiful, colorful shots. Love the kids on the John Deere. Weather has been good for last few days here in Oregon. That's about to change though.

Beautiful photos. Fall doesn't want to end here, it's the warmest fall I can remember.

in Austria we also had such a warm weather, too warm for this season. but, on the other hand, the sun brings up such brilliant colours!

My goodness yelows, reds and oranges are certainly the predominate colours. Here Downunder we are very close to the start of summer so our colours are all greens at the moment.
Thank you for the lovely walk - hope to join you again.
