Golden Hour at Lake Temescal

It is October and starting to feel like fall here in the San Francisco Bay Area. We still have the dry, hot days that are characteristic of our Mediterranean climate. Plants are looking a little dry, leathery and dusty, and the hills are brown. But, the days are getting shorter and cool off nicely in the evening, and the golden light of fall is magic!

My husband and I recently attended a wedding reception at the Temescal Regional Recreation Area in Oakland. Besides all the fun of celebrating the happy couple (in person), we had the opportunity to hike around Lake Temescal. This provided some exercise and a chance to enjoy the view in the fall light of late afternoon and early evening.

We left the celebration feeling energized, ready for more outings and gatherings, and eager for all the pleasures of fall!
