Downey's autumn

DSC_0121

Since we are further south than the New England states, our autumn colors come a little later in the year. But they come just the same, as verified by these red leaves. Soon, the whole tree will be filled with brightly colored leaves signaling they are ready to fall. Then this homeowner will be out each weekend for a while raking up the leaves off his lawn just like homeowners in Vermont. Oh, except, we don't have to worry about getting the leaves up before our lawns are covered with snow.

Enjoy the brisk cool mornings, the warm sunshine afternoons, and beautiful sunsets, Downey. This is a great place to live.

Autumn flowers

DSCN1372

On Tuesday, Joan posted about fall colors. When I read the post, I thought of fall colors slightly differently. Southern California has a multitude of flowering plants that bloom specifically in autumn.

This house is adorned with them and is a pleasant treat during these cold days.

Did you see something beautiful today? Something you might not see if you lived outside of southern California?
