This week’s photo blog challenge was to take a picture that shows the seasons. I have always found it interesting how California’s summer seems to end in October, and our fall seems to go from October to late December. I know in other places, fall starts in early September and it is snowing by December, but with the warmer climate it’s always slightly different. This gives us Californians a Christmas season with leaves still on the ground and clear skies. The image above is a picture of my friend right before Thanksgiving writing gratitude cards to people in her life.
