You know what I love? How iPhoto automatically only shows the last 12 months of photos so every time I log in to upload a blog photo the first photo that appears is 12 months old and reminds me what I was doing last year and what perhaps I should be doing this year.
Last year at Robb's Hut with family friends. It was SO pretty. When we arrived it was clear
and then during the night it snowed a perfect dusting of white.
I probably blogged this last year but it was so pretty it bears repeating.
This year, same friends. We didn't get our act together to reserve Robb's Hut again but did take a local trip to the nature preserve by our house.
Tons of deer. Really, really close up (I don't think I zoomed on this shot!)
And it was relatively warm so of course the little kids went for a swim (skinny dipping ;). On November 11? That's weird even in California.
It was no dusting of snow but a few fall leaves, a lot of oaks, cool clouds and a smooth river made for some pretty pictures anyway.
