 On Sunday Todd and I drove up into the mountains in search of fall colors. It rained lightly off and on but it was actually a welcoming relief. Summer has officially ended and fall has begun... Plus the rain kept everyone else away and we basically had the forest to ourself! We are blessed to have beautiful stands of quaking aspen in the western Sierra Nevada as well as on the east side. Other trees and shrubs that turn magnificent shades of yellow, orange and red include buckeye, willow, redbud, dogwood, and black oak. And we found a little bit of everything on Sunday!
