October is winding down.

Glendale has amazing skies every month of the year.

One of our last praying mantis girls, just after laying her eggs.  She seems exhausted.

Another praying mantis, it's getting a bit cool for them.  It won't be long and they will be gone for the year.  Very sad. I am so happy to see the new ones every spring.

Feels like fall.

Pretty skies a few days ago, before rain.

 A mantis in our yard is feeling the cold.  She probably just layed eggs, and won't be around much longer. I enjoy their company so much in the yard, I will miss her.

We still get fantastic blue skies in October!

Another little mantis. I have come to really love these little guys.

Best sunset ever.

This sunset is so spectacular it almost looks like fire.

All these photos are taken from our yard.

Pampas grass in the foreground, trumpet vine and bamboo behind.

This sunset just kept getting better and better!

Hard working weather station.

Ok, it's official.  Glendale skies are the best anywhere.

Clouds of San Francisco

Incredible coastal clouds, beautiful!
