Autumn Afternoon
No, not today. That last warm afternoon in early October, when we still felt comfortable outside with no mittens, hats or jackets. When the sun (you remember – that big yellow thing that used to spend a lot of time in the sky?) shone on us as Morgaine took our pictures at Kits Beach Park. Here are a few of my favourite photos from that day.
I love the lens flare on this one – not a traditional choice for portraiture, but I’m diggin’ it. “Here comes the sun, doot’n'doo doo…”
There was a time when we carried Aurora around all the time, because she needed it, and there will someday come a time when we never get to carry her at all, because she’ll be too big. But for now, we love picking up our little girl, whispering jokes in her ear, and nuzzling that adorable little face.
The leaves had just started falling in earnest in the first week of October, so we had fodder for a great leaf-tossing game. I love the immediacy and vibrancy of this picture.
Morgaine managed to capture a fine slice of Aurora’s personality that day. Thank you so much, again!

I can still recall, back in the day, when some of us Poly folks were walking to go Christmas caroling at a senior center on Dec. 1st — scarves and hats and all — and it was 80º outside!

Great photos! I like how we also get to see what Aurora’s mother looks like! (-:
Vancouver is so beautiful in October. Kind of makes me wish we had seasons in LA.
