California Fall
Fall has embraced most of the country, provided the many pictures of turning leaves on all my favorite blogs are any indication. You know, it’s fall here in on the west coast, too. Really! I imagine most people think the only thing that really changes around here is the time during daylight savings. True, if the leaves on my neighbor’s tree drops, it’s because the Santa Ana winds are blowing. But we, too, have seasonal colors, and they were in full force yesterday in my garden.
Oh, look! I see some leaves on the ground. It is fall!
I’ve seen countless pictures this week showcasing acres of trees painted red, gold, and orange. I have that.
And there’s more. California likes to add some “jazz hands” to our fall routine. Indeed, I would be terribly remiss if I didn’t highlight fall’s red, gold, and orange with our sunset’s pink, yellow, and purple.
And perhaps a little plastic surgeon’s white, too.
Because when things fall in California, we’re quick to lift them up.
Just gorgeous!!! Us Northerners do tend to go crazy gaga about our foliage, pumpkins and such, but I do believe there’s a part of us that’s a teensy bit jealous of California’s sunshine and warmth. Personally, I love those gorgeous palm trees!
Anytime you can slip in ‘jazz hands’ into a conversation is good by me…
Leaves are falling all over the place up here in Northern California (San Francisco Bay Area to be specific!) among the palm trees. I do love the pictures of the flowers though. All my flowers are starting to die with the cold air at night. So, at least I can look at the lovely images or your flowers.
As I tried watering my fading mums this morning, I’m jealous of your gorgeous roses!
That is so very very strange. Flowers? It’s nearly November! Shouldn’t everything be dead and brown now, the way it was meant to be?
