Fall. It's just like spring, but with a bad ending.

Red huffing steam, having just churned up the hill from the beach.

A ship at anchor south of Magnolia, waiting for its turn in the port.

Just perfect today. September and October can be so amazing here. This year is exemplary.

These shots from a morning walk with Red today. (No rats were harmed in the making of these pictures.) The leaves are taking their time turning this year. Summer just doesn't want to let go. But the grip will be forced open days from now.
