six word sunday: Fall in December, Spring in February

These are pictures I took on December 6.  Three days later, Quinn was born, and they've stayed hidden away on my hard drive since then.  I finally got around to looking at them this weekend.  It's amazing to see these and remember what everything looked like here just a few months ago... The colors were incredible!  (at least for someone who's never lived somewhere with proper seasons)

I love that California seems to be "winter-optional."  We went straight from our late fall, with all the gorgeous colors and piles of leaves for toddlers to run through, to an early spring where flowers are already blooming everywhere.

These are from our backyard (picture taken several weeks ago).  I should take another long walk through Midtown and capture the other signs of spring but haven't quite found the time yet... ; )
