Fall in Southern CA

My neighbors aren’t putting up as many decorations. So we are mostly looking at what Mother Nature has to offer

Look, it’s mid November, we have trees changing color! Most trees just turn brown and drop their leaves, but look here, some yellow and orange.

See, leaves turn brown and drop off. At least there is one here with some very interesting yellow.

Most loose their green, (chlorophyll) become yellow or brown and fall. But I found one that has just a tinge of red.

Another one with a little more of the yellow and orange.

Orange!

Time to find color in other places. These Canna last a long time, I think I shared the exact flower a few months ago.

Not sure what this is, but every fall it has these wonderful dark ruby red flowers with bright yellow stamens! Yay!

Some of the dropped Magnolia pods are tinged in red. I guess they stayed on the tree long enough for that to happen.

My pumpkins are still out, nice to see others have their as well. How cute is this funky wrinkled one amongst the ‘normal’ gourds?

I think I’ve seen two houses that decorate for Thanksgiving. I wish the inflatables were up! At night they won’t be that visible. And it’s night by 5:30, I miss longer brighter days.

In fitting with the theme of fall and fall colors, we have a red cat. Notice the large gps on his collar. Guy can go outside, but he is on parole.

I know, this is a winter cat. Well, a little orange on his face. He too has a GPS, probably the Tile. Not quite as cumbersome as his buddy. Well, at least they get to go outside. We have too many coyotes roaming our streets, like literally, our streets, not the periphery. So I hope that an owner does not find their gps next to a pile of bones. I’m not against letting cats out, I am against the idea that coyotes have more rights on our streets than we do.
