      To be honest, I was about to search for the game but after I heard the sound track you inserted into this video, which I bet, upon the requirement of the sponsor, I decided not to. How funny is that...those naive clients with big "load" of money....

      I don't like autumn. I don't understand how lots of people seem to say it's their favorite season. I think autumn is the worst season by far. Summer is best, I don't know if winter 2nd worst or 2nd best. I hate when it's wet and cold, which might be most spring and autumn, at least during winter everything is frozen.

    Cecilia, you do such a beautiful job showing us the feeling of your "neighborhood". I live in Dallas, TX, USA and the temperature is still in the high 90 degree fahrenheit area during the day and high 70's at night. Everything is still green and I'm picking peppers and tomatoes from my garden. I grew up in Denver, Colorado, USA and really miss the snow and especially the cooler weather. People don't realize the extra effort it takes to live in a snowy area, I don't miss that, especially a frozen, snowy car. All of your videos are lovely, but there's a special quality about this one, the changing of the time and seasons. Thank you so much! Oh and the whales, I could watch them for hours. In your living room of course.

To be able to see that out your window must be so delightful! I LOVE the snowed over tundra, but WOW, this autumn color is SO beautiful! I live in Northern California in a valley surrounded by high mountains....in the Fall is when the moon comes up over the east mountains big and bright and on the west mountains there is a patch of evergreens in the middle of the turning colors...my favorite spot to watch during autumn. The air is crisp but the sun still offers some warmth. Soon the leaves will be falling and trick or treaters will be squealing down our street.

    Autumn, video games and coffee. These are the things that make life magical.
