Beautiful Autumns
By Chuck Nafziger
November 2015
I love the autumn! We do not get all the vivid colors that appear in the East and Midwest, but
they do not have the lovely evergreen background we have. Even the gray skies seem to
accentuate the colors we do get. Our season of color also lasts longer than other places I have
lived.
The bugs have become scarce, but I have not put my camera away. I get occasional bird photos,
even seeing an Anna's hummingbird on my kiwi trellis, framed by yellow kiwi leaves. Today,
one of the gorgeous little red "Autumn Meadowhawk" dragonflies landed near us on the porch. I
did not get a photo, but I am including one I took a couple weeks ago. I would not trade our
green, mild autumns for weather anywhere else in the country.
