The contradictions of Fall


This is a spot I frequently walk by on campus. I think the trees are Liquid Ambers, and they are one of the only trees to show true "Fall color" around here. Yet, even as these trees are looking a bit like New England, we've been roasting here. OK, not roasting, but it's been in the 80's in SLO, and the 70's at the beach. Plus, the off shore winds have been ripping. They've been so strong that we are having to shut doors and windows at night because everything outside is flapping around & it's really noisy. The problem is, the winds are also really warm, so we've been waking up to the house in the low 70's, which is a bit toasty.

The trade off though, is the beautiful evenings. Last night was so nice out. I got in a short surf and it as just beautiful!
