Malibu’s Golden Hour
Mark Harding captured some beautiful light at Malibu Creek State Park last week, as fall foliage begins to enjoy its golden hour in the area.
“The Coastal Sycamores are in various stage as we get fall pretty late down here,” he explained.
“I also included an Osprey with dinner at Malibu Lagoon. It was a pretty neat sight.”
“It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over”
That seems to apply not only to baseball but fall colors as well.
Radiant in Redlands
A walk about in his neighborhood in Redlands had Michael Ponce giddy with color excitement.
Color remains in pockets such as these around the state. Get out and explore this weekend before Old Man Winter really takes hold!
Sunnyvale Selections
It seems like the cooler weather has finally caused the Ginkgo, Tulip, and Chinese Pistache trees in Sunnyvale to turn color.
Lucas Yan took a stroll around his neighborhood the afternoon of Dec. 4 and found some beautiful color, including reds and greens that look like they are right on time for the holiday season.

So Cal Hot Spot
If you’re in Southern California this weekend, the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden is the place to go for fall color, which is just beginning to take off.
According to Botanical Information Consultant, Frank McDonough, things are at about 10-20% right now.
Even though it’s December, there is still fall color to find, if you know where to look.
Eureka! We Found More Fall Color
During a recent family trip to the Sequoia Park Zoo and Redwood Sky Walk in Eureka, Michelle Pontoni found blue skies with very little wind and hundreds of visitors.
“We parked near Sequoia Park where we found the trees behind the busy playground swing sets were glowing orange against the evergreen backdrop,” she said.
According to its website, “The Redwood Sky Walk inside the zoo is a self-guided interpretive experience designed to educate, inspire, and delight visitors. Learn about the rich hidden ecology of the world’s tallest trees from an entirely new perspective.
“100 feet above the lush and verdant forest floor, view the canopy and legendary old-growth and mature second-growth redwood trees closer than ever before.
“As the longest sky walk in the western United States, the Redwood Sky Walk is just under 1/4 mile to the end and back.”
