A slice of Fall!

Every year I long for the beauty that the East Coast graces it's inhabitants, the ever glorious colors that our Creator clothes the trees with. Most of what we get in So Cal in the fall is alot of brown. There is some color here and there but it is sparse. Well this year our Lord blessed me with Sonoma's beauty. I don't ever remember being up at my parents at such a perfect time. I think the Autumn moments I have spent here in the past have either been just before the changing of the colors or just after it has all fallen to the ground.

This is the tree that greeted me when we arrived at their house. It was midnight and it only got better when I woke up to a sunny day.

A closer look!

A backyard beauty! You would never know that this is one of the awful tress that keep me from coming up in spring. It's a Black Walnut.  I cannot even exit the backdoor in spring without a horrible allergic outbreak.

The entire town was covered with these beauties and the range of color was phenomenal!
