Tuesday! A day to enjoy fall foliage.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group gives Kossacks a safe place to check in, a daily diary where we can let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, earthquakes, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It also allows us to find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, earthquakes etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a Kosmail and ask to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
We do have a diary schedule. But, when you are ready to write that diary, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMOM a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FloridaSNMOM is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.
Monday: Crimson Quillfeather alternating with ZenTrainer
Tuesday: ejoanna
Wednesday: Pam from Calif
Thursday: art ah zen
Friday: FloridaSNMOM
Saturday: Gwennedd
Sunday: loggersbrat
In California the fall foliage blaze is muted compared to elsewhere in the country, but we do have our own color spots. I live near-sea level (but not too near) where only a few deciduous trees/shrubs show fall colors. I have a liquid amber tree in my garden and it is brilliant red and gold right now.
One place to enjoy fall color here in CA is in the Sierra Nevada. The New York Times recently, Oct. 30, 2017, published a pictorial article highlighting the fall brilliance of the Sierra Nevada.
Let me share some photos.
In mid-September this year, the “California Today” section of the Times had an article on the Eastern slope of the Sierra, and their “first blush” of fall color;
How is the fall foliage show going in your part of the world?
