FALL BECOMES US

The official date for the beginning of Fall this year may be September 22, but I can tell you that it's already begun - official or not. How do I know without consulting Fritz Coleman, Johnny Mountain, or Dallas Raines - basically it's a coolness in the night air that prevents me from wearing shorts in the evening anymore and the need to actually take a jacket out with me too. Drat, summer is gone and I spent the last two weeks of it as a sickie stuck at home with bed rest. Well in honor of Fall, here's a montage I made in 2006. Funny enough, these golden colors of Fall were captured in Los Angeles in December - the actual time our leaves were turning. The air may be cold in September, but apparently it takes awhile for our trees to catch on.
