Red maple, Spanish Creek (9/20/19) Michael Beatley

It’s been a wet year in Plumas County (Northern Sierra), color spotter Michael Beatley reports. So wet, that snow fell there above 6,000′, this past week, and wildflowers are still blooming at the highest elevations.

Late summer/early autumn is a magical time when fall color appears as summer color hangs on, as seen in the above photograph of a red maple taken near Spanish Creek in Meadow Valley, off Bucks Lake Rd. six miles west of Quincy at 3500′.
