Outside, A California Winter in Technicolor

In California, even though we are knee-deep in December, the world looks like Fall. It still feels like winter though.  The air is snippy, brisk.

Me & Dax & the cats go outside into the yard to see the golden cover of leaves...


In every frame there's an abstract picture,


or a colorful poem...


Diego, our little kitten-cat-panther-lion, follows me everywhere...

 (kitten)

 (cat)

 (panther)

 (lion)

It's so quiet outside. The absence of sound reminds me of loneliness...


Although I'm not alone...



We notice all the pretty things together...


and head back inside.
I stare at you again.  


And again...


You're so darn cute...


How'd  you get to be mine?


In this house together now. It's a brand new winter. Sparkling yellow and gold. 
We play on the floor of the nursery. We are looking from the inside-out.
