Halloween

Erik & Anya in full Halloween costumes

For Halloween we went with a few friends to a large party at a space in Fremont that doubles as a night club and art gallery. Fremont is probably one of the most liberal neighborhoods in America, so we chose our costumes with an astute sense of irony. It worked beautifully; we got lots of compliments and everyone we talked to seemed to get the joke.

Today we were walking home from brunch and took a few pictures of fall color in our neighborhood. The Northwest isn't exactly known for its fall color. But while it's certainly true that there aren't any hillsides covered with trees that actually lose their leaves, there are some maples - mostly of the Japanese variety - that put on a good show.

A handful of Halloween and fall color pics are here.
