The colors of the leaves are incredible.

Thanks for the welcome and Jim is very kind.....We do have lots of fun with those planes....Don't laugh too hard if you see us scrambling up a Pine tree to retrieve one of our beloved planes....

Thanks...this last gentle and persisting fall afforded generous time for the plants to show off their colors..
I Live in Running Springs, but work in Wrightwood.  One thing you don't see in Running Springs are these climbing vines that turn bright red.

Those plants that climb and show off the neat colors are Virginia Creepers.  Easy to grow...just take a clipping and plant it where you want it.  In Spring, you'll have a climbing vine that really has outstanding Fall colors.

Hi Supermodel.....
A telling picture....
Wind after a snow....Oak leaves hold on during the snow....but all leaves succumb to the wind....
Or.....perhaps
The trashcan tipped over in the wind and your raking blew all over the place.

Very nice!

I love the look of the oaks in the late fall.
