slipping into fall

Happy October!

I've been on hiatus for a little while! I had a wonderful time vacationing in Kailua on the island O'ahu in Hawaii. The rainforest is probably my favorite climate to visit. Warm, rainy, and so colorful. Plant and animal life surround you (and sometimes crawl on you...) and there's always something to observe. I could write stories about it forever. I also got a chance to hang out at the beautiful beaches. The water there is the bluest I've ever seen. In a few days I'll have a nicer camera and I'll post some observations I made with watercolors.

Now I'm back to life in So Cal. It's great to be back with friends and working again at JibJab. And as much as I love the tropical weather of the islands, it feels really good to be back where it's Fall. I'm so glad it's finally getting a little cooler. I baked a delicious quiche and had a whole bowl of hot chocolate. Feels very much like a Fall Saturday, finally.

And since it's also been a little bit of a lazy, stay-at-home Fall Saturday, I've finally updated my online portfolio!
