I've complained many times about the lack of Fall and fall foliage in Southern California. So I've lived vicariously through bloggers' photos of the gorgeous colors in other part of the country. But this past week, I finally found a little bit of Fall in my own back yard-- well actually somebody else's front yard, but Fall colors nevertheless.
Against the clear blue sky, these trees took my breath away....
I know most of you are either long past fall and/or freezing your tails off with winter and snow, but to see Mother Nature in action-- in person, is a real treat for me. Fall is definitely my favorite season of the year.
How about you?

Oh oh oh oh I am so thilled for you hon..I for one know how you love the fall!! Whooot that mother nature gave you this treat!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you hon you deserved it!!!
Hugs, Sarah
The color has been spectacular around my house. That cold snap really did the trick but the falling leaves are constant like rain. Very cool. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen we first moved back to Oregon after a 10 year absence, I rode the little electric train to downtown Portland every day for work.
ReplyDeleteAnd one day, as we rounded the corner into Gateway transit center, I noticed the entire hillside above the freeway was a riot of gold and red and orange and yellow and brown.
I was so surprised.
I'd forgotten Fall!
And I've treasured it like a gift every year since.
We've gotten snow quite early this year for our neck of the woods. I'd have to agree with you that fall is my favorite time of the year.
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely. And they take me back... a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI love your taste of fall. Our fall is gone, but no real winter yet either...but it will come.
ReplyDeleteJoanna, I can so relate to this. We aren't much different up here in the San Francisco area. I've been thrilled, driving my son daily to catch his train to work, to see some beautiful trees in Millbrae. I, sometimes, just park on the street, in awe, and, of course, I take pictures. I wonder that the resident of these homes don't call the police!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colors! Fall is my favorite season, with crisp cool temperatures and amazing colors.
ReplyDeleteMe too! In Utah, we have about 5 months of summer, 6 months of winter, 3 weeks of spring, and 1 weeks of fall. It's depressing!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! And be glad you don't live here. Freezing cold weather with single digit wind chills, almost single digit temps. Tonight will be below zero!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful....funny how fall finally showed up! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI am sitting here typing in my home office -- with a view of snow piling up in mountains around my home, weighing down the branches of the evergreens! I love the photo of your blue skies and rich autumn shades, and I envy you! Thanks for a little California dreamin' on such a winter's day :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's well into winter here in Scotland. Spring is my favourite time of the year - when hope is at its strongest.
ReplyDeleteoh, thanks for the little flashback. It's barren and dark and pouring soon to be snow.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad for you.. there is just something so amazing about the brilliance of the colours of autumn.
I've been in St. Louis for 15 years, and it still takes my breath away to see some of the gorgeous colors we are blessed to have! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat looks inviting, because we're in the midst of a freeze. I prefer the heat of summer.
ReplyDeleteYES! I love fall. It's still pretty green here in Florida, but there's some yellow and orange foliage here and there.
ReplyDeletePretty picture.
I do love the colors of Fall, and that is great example of it. Right now we have been under a winter weather warning, with ice and then blowing snow all night. That sky looks pretty inviting!
ReplyDeleteWow! Glad you found a little fall!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got a touch of the fall beauty that you love. We're in the middle of a snow storm, nothing but white, white, white.
ReplyDeletebare tree limbs with blowing snow here
ReplyDeleteHope the color stays on the trees for you.
gorgeous shot jj...i love fall so your can post it any time of year...smiles.
ReplyDeletesummer is my season... love being warm... love lots of daylight... love being outside
ReplyDeletemissing the warmth as the wind & snow swirl in my windows tonight, first big storm of the season
thanks for the dose of fall :)
I feel the same way. We went to Burlingame the other day and the trees were so colorful. I felt like I was in heaven.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find, the colours of the leaves against the crisp blue sky is stunning.
ReplyDeleteJust LOVE it!! Can you belive this weather? 87 degrees at my house today! so we have very few trees in the area that look like that!
ReplyDeleteThat is one stunning autumn beauty.;)) Yes, here these kind of images are long gone, replaced by white precipitation.;))
ReplyDeletexoxo
Great colors and I am glad for you that you found these trees in person there in southern CA. I think I am a spring kind of gal. Spring forward and all that. Still cool and new buds peeking through. Time to get the bikes out and ride.
ReplyDeleteFall has come and gone here! And the colors were amazing!! I love fall too! It is always so inspiring!!
ReplyDeleteBut right now I long for summer...HA!
It is so cold!! Brrrrrr!!!
Hugs
SueAnn
SOOO beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat for y'all!
You shine!
We only have two seasons in Honduras, hot and not so hot. Well almost. The dry and the rainy season are our two seasons. Thanks for the glilmpse of a bit of fall foliage.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHere in Helsinki we have snow and more snow...
Have a good week!
Definitely my favorite time of the year with the color changing so rapidly and the bare trees, but my second fav is spring, where everything is filled with such hope.
ReplyDeleteOhh. Sweater weather. I miss it already. Isn't Fall beautiful?!
ReplyDeletePearl
how about me ?
ReplyDeletewell i'd be the one freezing her ass off right now :)
I do love fall colors, and ours are gorgeous. But I don't care for the winter that follows.
ReplyDeleteIt seems strange to me to still be seeing fall colors! Fall is my favorite time of the year!
ReplyDeleteWell, would ya look at that!!! Just goes to show ya that God really does give us the desires of our heart! Your beautiful 'fall' pic is just a big old verification of that!
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm one of those...freezin' my tail end off today. It was a whoppin' six her on the Ponderosa this Mornin'.
God bless ya sweetie and enjoy your fall!!!
Spring is my favorite followed by Fall.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, this morning as I walked into McDonald's -- walking across the snow-covered lot in my hoodie -- I had a "for 13 degrees, this doesn't feel too bad," thought. It doesn't take long for the cold to get old which, I think, is why Spring beats Fall as my favorite... it's nice to see the cold go.
There's nothing quite like the experience of beautiful autumn in real life!
ReplyDeleteSee, fall is such a sign of winter coming that I cannot love it. I'm a spring girl all the way.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of bits and pieces I love about fall - and the foliage is definitely in there. BUT for me, fall also means that the frigid winter is almost here, which makes me ... not love fall quite so much!
ReplyDeleteThose trees are beautiful and nice that your shot does them justice (you'll just have to frame it to have handy for when that fall nostalgia strikes).

ReplyDeleteWe went from nice fall to winter overnight, last week. It's been snowing since... argh.
ReplyDeleteI used to love summer the best, but now... I'm with you... Autumn (fall) is best!
ReplyDeleteI am definately a Fall girl.
