Monday Morning Shot: Checkmate

A beautiful photograph of Pacific Palisades can often be more invigorating than your cup of coffee.

What's better than a double-shot of espresso? A reminder first thing on Monday morning that home is a beautiful place.

Now that the weather is getting a little cooler, leaves are slowly changing color and pumpkins are popping up on doorsteps, outdoor activities are being packed away for the winter. Yes, we're in Southern California and are notorious weather wimps, but it can get a bit chilly. Who says 54 degrees doesn't warrant a good pair of boots and staying home to master a game of chess? has been offering up a jumbo set by the window all summer long. You should've been practicing!
