Even the trees of California
Are beginning to change color
Knowing you will be home
Soon

    Happy Friday the 13th…

    and Happy Anniversary to You Both!

    How many years has it been? And I want to be the first to ask for a wedding picture.

  2. Sarah

    Happy Anniversary!
    When does she get home already?!

    Also! I wanted to tell you that I will have some special Autumnal shots for you next week–I’m going apple picking tomorrow and to a fair with a corn maze and hay ride and all sorts of autumnal activities. 😀

    Happy Anniversary to you both!

    I love how our trees pale in comparison to the ones you posted before…le sigh.

    Happy Anniversary! Amezing how different the palm trees in California look from the ones in Florida. I am sure it has to do with the type or maybe the fact the ones in Florida never get a chance to reach maturity due to all the tornados and hurricanes.

    Also – those palm trees look a little frightening! What’s happening there?!
