Fall Color

Photograph of  Fall color in North Monterey CountyAs Summer winds down, the first hints of Fall appear. In North Monterey County, Fall color is primarily Poison Oak turning red. In the Eastern Sierras, it is the aspen turning yellow. Over the next several posts, I will share  some favorite images of Fall color. This first post is close to home, literally across the street from my house. Dried ferns are backlighted by the morning sun.
