This is my contribution for Tom's chosen theme this time round: Fall. It's probably my favorite season; all my shots were taken between September 2011 and today, December 4, 2011.

Sunset on a golden fall day.
Among the many trees that line the streets in my neighborhood are numerous sweet gums (Liquidambar styraciflua), which are common in the temperate areas of the southeast US and mountainous areas in Mexico and Central America. They seem to love it here in "socal" and it seems we love them, given their numbers. Their leaves turn color in the fall much like maples, which they are often mistaken for. They are especially beautiful when backlit by the sun.
Would you like a "cuppa?"
This is a huge camphor tree outside one of my doctor's offices. Like many in California, they are evergreen.

Raindrops suspended by a spiderweb that was draped between fronds.
Step #1 preparing the stuffing: sauteeing the vegetables, herbs, butter and broth... a wonderful smell!
I think the turkey is rather handsome! It was a happy, run-around turkey (that is, organic and free range). The last 2-3 years I've been dry salt curing it, which I find better than a liquid brine. The meat is moist but nicely firm, not spongy.
