Hope your Valentine's Day is filled with love!

Fall splendor, Northern California style, is carelessly flaunting itself all over the backyard. A cold front is moving in that is threatening to dust our local mountain with snow, but for now, the rain has made it's presence known. We had a lovely spot of sun in the morning, so I dashed out for a few shots.




I hope your Thanksgiving is full of friends, family, and the splendor of nature.

Max loves to take pictures, and knows more about my Hipstamatic app than I do.  Now, a look at the world through the eyes of a six year old:

and my personal favorite...
Hope you have an illuminated weekend ;)

It's the last week of school, and I'll be spending most of today in the car, running from one place to another. Then I'll spend the next two days in the classroom, running from one place to another. I hope you'll have a more peaceful week than me! (image from the Hipstamatic app)

It's my peaceful place, my escape down the road. It's just at the end of the street, but sometimes it feels like miles away. When I can't make it there on my days off, I can feel it. I'm a little more stressed, a little unsettled. Like this week. So maybe the pictures will help. These are some of the first shots I took with the Hipstamatic app for my iPhone.
Breathe.
