Let's take a fall walk

You don't often think of looking at the color here on the coast. Usually, the wind & rain blow the leaves down before they get really gorgeous, but this year we are having a late Indian Summer & the results have been spectacular!

This is the tree out front of City Hall now. It's so red this year, and it's spectacular.

Here's another tree in front of city hall...this one turned a spectacular yellow.

Close up of some beautiful red leaves.

Check out the pine cones on this Shorepine. They are really big! Michelle wants to snag one when they start dropping.

Here are a couple of trees in Choshi Gardens. They turned yellow too & absolutely glow in the afternoon sun.

Here's the view looking up through the leaves. Very dramatic.

Here's another red tree...

And this one is not only turning red, but has red berries!

Another glowy yellow tree...

And this one is actually turning rust colored! I love the color of the leaves on this one. We've got storms moving through now. The first really good windstorm was last night & there's pine needles, leaves, and branches down all over the place. There's another one coming in soon, so I suspect it's a good thing we got these pictures when we did. Although, now comes Michelle's favorite, walking through the crunchy leaves.
