I think lawyers call that negative pregnance when you make a denial of *specific* facts that suggests other facts. <BR/><BR/>I love our fall/winter colors. They are subtle and less familiar, but I think they're lovely.<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas, both of you.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your the ravenous hordes.chuck b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00882763861745236443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345890.post-67388735350342289122007-12-25T11:25:00.000-08:002007-12-25T11:25:00.000-08:00Absolutely beautiful, Chuck.

I especially loved all of the upright grasses in their winter colors next to the stream... and here I was thinking that California was too "almost tropical" to have good fall color! :)<BR/><BR/>By the way, I giggled at this: "If I had fewer ethical restraints, I would have picked up all this beautifully rotting wood and put it in my garden." <BR/>Does that mean you didn't pick up <I>all</I> of it, just <I>some</I>?!!<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345890.post-77104144393930809682007-12-25T07:57:00.000-08:002007-12-25T07:57:00.000-08:00In the quiet before the arrival of the ravenous ho...In the quiet before the arrival of the ravenous hordes, a nice stroll through the california oak forest in winter is a treat.<BR/><BR/>Is that Spanish Moss hanging from those trees? With the hanging moss and ferns on the tree trunks it is very similar to the oak forests here in Florida and much of the south.<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas Chuck.Christopher C.
