Fall Meme

I will preface this by saying we don't have much of a change of seasons here. It's pretty temperate all year 'round, hence the astronomical (although getting less astronomical by the day) cost of living in the San Francisco Bay Area. We do get some leaves turning colors, a crispness in the air, rain, sometimes lots of it as summer makes way for fall, then fall to winter...it's currently about 80 degrees here, gorgeous and sunny, with a slight breeze. I was thinking it might be fun to take Sofia to the beach this evening for a post dinner snack and sunset date.

As we celebrate the Autumnal Equinox, I decided to have fun and take part in a Autum Meme, thanks to Pam over at Everyday Snapshots.
