Home to California at last

I arrived home the same time fall arrived in the mountains of Southern California. Below: the view yesterday in the road in front of our mountain home. (The steps on the right lead to our place in BEAR ( aptly named) Canyon in Mt Baldy)
Leaves are just starting to turn. The air is a bit crisp. I've always been fascinated by this split tree usually in near daytime darkness due to the canyon's dense tree canopy above. At the 'right' time of day... a tiny stream of light hits the yellowing leaves. Soooo beautiful.
All that said, Hawaii was beautiful as well.. a different beauty. I'll be showing a few pics over time. ALOHA Hawaii (Boo Hoo!) BUT look what I came home to.
