Autumn is here!

Ah, with all that may be wrong with this world, the season's do go on. Autumn has arrived on the North coast of California, with its beautiful golden light and cooler nights. I like to just walk around our backyard at times like this, to observe and record a bit of what it looks like. This brings me comfort in times of stress, and helps me put my life into the perspective of the greater existence.

Autumn means a molt for our cockatiels. You can see the shafts clinging to new feathers on Boomer in this shot.
Plants reach for the waning rays of the autumn sun.

Boomer keeps an eye on me through the window from the top of his cage.
It is a beautiful world we live in. Thank goodness for the chance to see that!
