Looking back at the brilliant photographs of this past autumn, one is struck by the beauty. It has been a glorious autumn and given California’s record drought, who would have thought it could be?
Color spotter Frank McDonough of the Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Gardens wonders whether the show is building to be their best, too.
He writes, “Color is still coming along nicely; our red maples just exploded and the Liquidambars are on track to look pretty good. If we don’t get a driving, leaf-stripping rain between now and Thanksgiving, it looks this week may be one of our best this year.” Here’s the proof in photos he took, yesterday.
Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden (Near Peak 75-100%) – Red maple, liquidambar, sticks on fire, crepe myrtle, sweet gum, pin oak, persimmon and Japanese birch are full of color at the LA County Arboretum. GO NOW!
