Fall color has descended to California’s urban forests with Peak color appearing at elevations below 1,000′, bringing autumn to your backyard.
I captured these images during a five-minute walk of my backyard in El Dorado Hills (Sierra Foothills).

hope you and your family are safe and not in the fire danger zone!
Thanks for the words of concern, Soyoung. We’re well south of the Camp Fire, though the smoke is thick here and throughout the Sacramento Valley. Our thoughts are of those displaced by the fires near Malibu and that destroyed Paradise.
