All About Them Oaks

“It’s all about them oaks,” Jeff Luke Titcomb wrote when submitting these images.

Black oaks now dominate along LaPorte Road in Plumas County (southeast of Quincy). Their blend of emerald, vermillion, and rich carmine intensify in late afternoon sunlight. The same is true along Bucks Lake Road, where philamont, chartreuse and buttery leaves mix with mango and crimson foliage in an autumn salad that’s a feast for the eye.

Between these two fall color destinations, the road passes through Quincy whose hybrid maple and landscaped exotics, shout, “See me! See me!”

Ah, to be in Plumas County at peak.
