Lately things have been a little rough...

But pumpkin season has arrived...

Soon the ground will be turning white...

The holidays will be upon us...

Many of us will be hanging ornaments on trees...

And admiring glowing yellow candle flames...

So don't get all prickly...

We'll be feeling ducky again soon...

Happy Monday, America! This Cuppa's for you.

I took all these photos at the South Coast Botanic Gardens in Palos Verdes, Calif., which was created on the former site of an open-pit mine and sanitary landfill. If a dump can turn into this, anything's possible, eh?
